Garden Then and Now

In May I planted this lavender plant.  


I had a pot that needed a plant.  I ran into this lavender plant on sale at the nursery, so into the pot it went.  

In late June I planted this butterfly garden.


At the time I was having a massive animal infestation problem.   And was feeling a big down and frustrated about my garden.   I was hoping these plants would survive.  


Four months later!  I love to see the insects buzzing around every time I visit my garden.


And now I receive daily visits from this guy.

  2. Isn't it great how plants fill the spaces! And how cool that you have a hummer visiting your lavender! I have a bunch of the stuff, but never paid enough attention to it to know if I have such cute visitors. I'll have to keep an eye on it next year!

  5. Kristie--I held out the camera and just shot over and over again. And I did run back and forth a few times missing him each time. He is actually kinda tame. I think he's use to us at this point.
