Late summer flowers.

I just thought I'd share a few pics of my flowers right now. 

 This is an Anemone that I've only had for a few years. I don't know much about them but it's done really well in my herb garden. I need to study up a little on it to see if I can move it to a very sunny spot in the front of the house. The bees are just loving it right now. So glad to see them busy at work.

 This Begonia was gifted to me from my Mom in the spring. I potted it up with some Lobelia and it's sits right outside my patio door so I can see it while I have breakfast each morning.

 This cutie is Borage and I started it from seed in the herb garden. I've had it before and it always makes me happy to see again. 

Here is a new squash we're trying this year. It seems to be very happy on the skid trellis the Tin Man made for it. I think it's also happy with the copious amounts of rain we've had this summer. I've forgotten what kind it is and will have to look it up to see what it's suppose to look like to know when to harvest it.

So those are my favourites at the moment. How is your garden doing?

Happy creative gardening!

Summer fun.

So how has your summer been so far? As usual mine is going way too fast.

The last two weekends Sheila and I have been vendors at the Perth Farmers Market. This weekend I took a break to enjoy a few other local shows. It's nice to be on the other side of the table some times. I was also checking them out for possible shows next year. Yesterday the Tin Man and I went to the Urban Art Show. Unfortunately I forgot my camera in the car so I have no photo's for you. It was very cool show though, lots of local artist with a great selection of unique creations in a beautiful shady park in downtown Ottawa. I hadn't been to this show before but will definitely be going again.

Today we went to the Herbfest. We have been to this show before but it's been a few years and I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it. I forgot to bring my camera with at all today but above is a few of the things we came home with. We picked up some garlic for our first garlic fix of the year. And the Tin Man was able to sample and choose some of his favourite mustards from Mrs. McGarrigle's. It's a beautiful venue and the weather was amazing. If you're ever in the Almonte area in July this is a must see show for all those nature and healthy living enthusiast.

I hope your weekend was as wonderful as mine.
