Garden Diaries: Wildflowers in the Roadside Cove
This year, I started a variety of flowers from seed (sweet alyssum, sunflowers, marigolds, chamomile, borage, sweet peas, zinnias, cosmos) and put down seed from two different wildflower mixes, plus extra cornflowers. They are simply pretty, but I also find it fascinating to watch how they grow and document their beauty. (Plus, the chamomile smells like pineapple, the sweet alyssum smells like honey, and the sweet peas smell like honeysuckles.)
Please enjoy a mid-summer look at my Roadside Cove.
