A '#PotagerGarden' Is Perfect for Anyone Who Wants to Start Growing Their Own Food

Calling all green-thumbed cooks!

Excerpt (I LOVE this idea and have used it):

Incorporate Decorative Garden Structures

"Potager gardens often include decorative vertical elements like trellises and tuteurs. 'I replaced all my boring metal tomato cages with willow pyramids, and I love adding trellises for vertical climbers like sweet peas and cucumbers,' says Poshusta. Likewise, decorative cloches can add that vertical element and protect your crops from nibbling animals. Gardner has an arbor with climbing roses that defines the entry to her potager."

Outskirts of San Bernardino, California. Cottage Gardens road sign. This sign advertises a depression community. There are one hundred homes. All but fifteen of the families were living on SSRA work and buying their homes on this budget...

#Happy #Tuesday, as the wheel turns and the seasons change, so do the flowers in our little garden - like a floral kaleidoscope of sorts.

So now it's #phlox season, a plant beloved by moths and other flitting and flying creatures.

This one is a mystery to me. Bought as Bosvigo Pink but I think it is much prettier.

The palest ice pink flowers have delicate white flame markings and the scent is a delight.

Flowers for weeks and glows in the evening light.

Morning and happy Monday.
Just managed to take a photo of a part of the garden before the rains began.

Lots of colours. 🙂💐

The cultivar name is Grey Lady. Looks amazing at dusk.
