What’s in the Garden?

Lisa BB · May 24, 2023 · Leave a Comment Filed Under: Home and Garden

I love to have freshly cut flowers arranged in vases around the house year round, or to decorate the table. I also like the idea of creating little bouquets to give to friends, family, and neighbours, right from my own garden. So even though we’re getting a late start in the garden this year; I decided to go ahead and plant seeds in the container gardens anyways. We’ll wait and see what happens.

We’re getting a lot of beautiful sunny days so hopefully in another 3 to 4 weeks, I’ll be posting beautiful photos of flowers in full bloom.

Think of all the nice bouquets I can make with seeds from Westcoast Seeds: Dianthus, Zinnias, Alyssum, Gypsophila, Cosmos, and China Asters in all different colours.

Here’s what’s in our garden:

First, my favourites…

Aster King Size Apricot Flower Seeds from Westcoast Seeds
Aster King Size Mixed Formula Flower Seeds from Westcoast Seeds
Alyssum Dwarf Purple Flower Seeds from Westcoast Seeds

I planted the Cosmos and Alyssum as companion flowers in the veggie containers to attract pollinators and beneficial insects. I especially like the addition of Dwarf Purple Alyssum because the colour has such depth and will look so pretty!

Now, for the hardest part — keep it watered just enough and wait for it to grow.

Zinnia

Z for Zinnias, pink or red;
See them in the flower-bed,
Copper, orange, all aglow,
Making such a stately show.
I, their fairy, say Good-bye,
For the last of all am I.
Now the Alphabet is said
All the way A to Z.

~Cicely M. Barker, A Flower Fairy Alphabet

Until next time…
