Over the weekend flowers seeds were planted for the summer. I found an amazing book https://amzn.to/2GotTIiand read it totally. So far I have planted, Zinnias, English Daisys, Iceland Poppies, Cosmos, Chocolate Laceflower, and Amaranth. The Sweet Pea seeds are soaking and tomorrow the focus will turn to vegetables. Succession planting, which is featured in the book, means that in about 3 weeks more flowers will be planted. It is exciting to think about all the flowers that will be here in the summer. Planting is hope for the future.
Settling in with a cup of coffee and planning out the garden was pleasant and hopeful. What brings you joy? The book I have linked about was written by Erin Benzakein about her farm, Floret Farm. Her presentation and recommendations for flowers are very helpful and the whole story of their farm and growth are inspiring. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.
