How does my garden grow??

Actually quite pathetic :)

We had such a slow start to summer this year

that I knew if I planted early, nothing would grow...

so I didn't plant anything 

Them my Mom brought over 3 corn and 3 brussel sprout starts

in early August and I planted them

This is one of my corn plants

cute, but I don't think we will all be sharing this one ear anytime 

soon

As for my Brussel sprouts...they are growing despite the little insect

that keeps eating all the leaves

I had high hopes for these

Well, so much for my sustainable garden :)

Maybe I will try again next year!

 

Twig Herb Markers {Garden Craft}

via

I had seen these little twig herb markers in my latest issue of Martha Stewart.

I made a bundle, tied them with twine and gave them with a few herbs as a birthday gift recently...they were so sweet.

Here is one I made for my English Tyme 

I love how "earthy" and simple 

A friend recently shared this idea with me, that she saw here...

a great use for all those wine corks :)!

My Favorite Flower too!!

I think the Peony is the favorite flower of everyone I know!

I only have two bushes, for now :)

One is a dark raspberry color and these are the other

This color is so vibrant and gorgeous

I hope to add a light pink and white bush to my garden

love love love
