Magical Beans

Like Jack and his magical beans, I have been planting my magical garden at my magical barn. Every flower, herb, apple, or pepper is an investment in this summer and fall, and even beyond. 

First off, a Royal Raindrop Crabapple to shade our sitting area at the barn. Here it is, stuffed into our trusty little workhorse Landcruiser.

Here it is planted.

Next, a very magical rose that, supposedly, does not need deadheading. If that’s true, it will be truly magical. It’s beauty certainly makes one believe in magic.

That is our lab, St. Lucy. Because she is so good with our 3 year old grandson, we have sainted her.

A white Rio, planted into a cone basket from last year.

Pepper collection (no beans, only peppers, sorry Jack)

Jalapeño 

2 jalapeños

2 habaneros 

Poblanos

Spanish lavender 

Tomatoes and petunias 

Periwinkle, thyme, and basil

An azalea given to my daughter that survived in our garage the first winter she was here. I planted it last spring, and it is almost dead from the cold winter. We will see if it comes back.

Oregano pot with flowers

Rosemary pot with petunias

More basil (can’t have too much) and Italian parsley

Let it grow! Let it grow!
