Martha Washington geranium, the frosts has killed all but this one that is tucked safely under other plants to keep it warm in the winter time.
Roses are my number one favorite!!! I have zillions as when I prune back in the fall or early spring I just can't bear to throw away the cuttings. Into the ground they go and I get about 10 successful new plants each year (this year I'm planting the rose hips as well to see what surprises I might get popping up!)
My potatoes are growing and look fantastic. The big blue barrel (needs to be green) has water lilies in it and the milk cartons are for slow leak watering. Huge hollyhocks are to the right of the barrel and the old white peach tree is in the back left side, backed up with deep pink hollyhocks.
And here is one of my prized artichokes! Yum, yum! A dear friend Janet gave me a plant years and years ago and I've had artichokes ever since. I let the last one or two flower and go to seed, then I plant them to make lots of little baby plants for the next year. The original plant never fails me and comes back big and strong the next year if the seeds don't produce!
