Another bloom day

Posted by on

Above is the Bee's Bliss Salvia which looks lovely in the morning light.

I have been busy weeding and propagating and will have lots to say when I have a minute to sit. I uncovered the "meadow" (the floating row cover was looking suspiciously lumpy) and found any number of big weeds there - and a few seedlings. So I'll be positive about the seedlings, and it's interesting to try to ID some of the weirder weeds.

In the meantime, I don't have much for bloom day. Everything is pretty quiet in my yard right now. Maybe everything is trembling in its little rooties because I've been weeding up a storm - a large part of restoration is removing what you don't want.

I'm in a rush between events - I'll just post one more, a closeup of ceanothus, Dark Star.


Ta-ta!

Oh I agree about the Bee's Bliss in the morning light. It's sights like that that keep us all gardening isn't it? Looking forward to the progress of your various projects...

I absolutely love the mental image of "trembling little rooties". Don't know the book Epitaph for a Peach, but will be checking it out now. Your photos make me want to jump on an airplane to CA.

Your Bee's Bliss is delightful and the ceanothus is a gorgeous shade of blue! There's been a whole lot of trembling in their rooties going on around here too! That's one good thing about annual summer droughts, it cuts down on the weeding. . .

We are in very different climates, but I also am trying to incorporate more native plants on our property, and eradicate the invasive ones!

Love the ceonanthus photo.
