Sometimes it's good to just watch and enjoy and not try to do anything about it. Especially in the current political state of danger we're experiencing, in a number of countries including mine. Nature comes through.
Every June about the third week, the faithful daylilies return, and the Russian sage behind them flowers up
and the sunflower type plant, completely forget what it is, returns in the unsheltered container, out all winter, still returns.
And my Thai basil started from seed from last year's plant, really booming despite squirrel invasions, here in foreground. Pachysandra everywhere, but sedum, another faithful returner there, in front of the container of English thyme and the lavender.
The lavender, also in a container, just goes on and on, and the Russian sage, which was knocked about by the builders, but didn't care.
On the patio fence, nasturtiums in front of lantana, getting ready for a second flush of flowers, spiderwort back there, too. Both sides of the fence, daylilies getting all ready for their grand entrance.
This reliability is great to stop and consider now and then, in a world which is very short of it right now.
