Summer pics

Felt in the mood to post pics. These are lovely Asiatic lillies I planted just this spring. They're about 18 inches tall and so lovely! And I had no way of knowing what color would come up where when I planted the bulbs. So I got lucky with the yellow/red/yellow alternating thing. There's 5 total. I'm so pleased. This particular bed has crap soil in it. Total gravelly, dusty dirt fill. However, some things love it. Like these lilies, the sage and also the lavendar.


And here's poor little Eamon who fell asleep in his swing while Greg was pushing him. We couldn't resist leaving him there and extra 5 minutes while I searched for the camera.

And here's one of the lavendar plants. The picture doesn't do it justice. The base is huge and woody now. I think its 5 years old. The yellow plant next to it is yarrow~ which I need to harvest some leaves and flowers in the very near future for a good friend's future postpartum bath! Along with some lavendar and comfrey...
