I had purple fennel in the garden for quite a few years just from one plant .. seeds sprung up like your dill and I loved it .. fennel and dill .. rosemary and lavender .. are favorites of mine .. I heard that borage is a great companion plant to grow with grapes .. have you done that ? Love the pumpkin picture too girl !CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-62471894441389389432009-06-30T18:54:03.128-04:002009-06-30T18:54:03.128-04:00Last year I didn't get to the basil before it ...Last year I didn't get to the basil before it flowered, but was still tasty for a while. Our dill died in the Fall but a stray seed must have landed in the front flower bed because it has sprung up wonderfully! We also have a borage that never died last year, even under 3' of snow and a few days of sub-zero weather.... lived, grew, and is now blooming!

I just took some pictures this morning of the cloudy but bright sky .. a mix of contrasts .. I don't get the sunsets darn it ! We are in for more rain for a few days .. better get my boots out ?
