The Potager

Dill flowering in our kitchen garden this summer.
We enjoyed mixing in some flowers among the veg and fruit this summer. It creates such a beautiful atmosphere in this productive garden and attracts beneficial insects too.

Purple Coneflower and Mugwort

Echinacea purpurea and white-flowering mugwort (Artemisia lactiflora 'Gutzhou')

A lovely combination for late summer/autumn. This combination was one that we spotted at Stan Hywet house and gardens in Akron, Ohio in their Great Garden. See more about this garden in my series on Stan Hywet... here

Topiary Ivy

Beautiful vintage patinas for this shot thanks to our still-unpainted shed and old wheelbarrow :)
I am finally making another go at my topiary ivies this year! I potted these pretty containers up on our long holiday weekend just passed and hoping they will overwinter well this year for more enjoyment next year.
