More garden

The first path in the garden

leads to the hammock,

the single best investment 

made so far.

One side is liked with Lady's Mantle

which I love for it's beautiful foliage

and delicate chartreuse flowers.

Peony not quite in bloom.

Foxglove

It's leaves are poisonous, 

and I joke that if the girls are naughty, 

I might serve them a foxglove salad...

 Lupine, Grandma's favorite.

I saw some in a garden, 

it was big enough to be a shrub!

Let's hope these grow big and strong too.

I love cosmos,

and they are annuals so they will fill in all the gaps of our baby garden

Lupine, close up.

Flower boxes

and the age of the cottage on the sign in the window.

I have two pots to welcome visitors.

This year I snuck some Basil in with the flowers.

I am SO glad I did!

Last night I had pesto with pasta for dinner.

And for breakfast, I had leftover pesto/pasta mixed with eggs.

Yum!

The fresh basil flavor,

the crunchy pasta,

the soft eggs.

Plant basil,

eat well,

welcome summer!
