… In the bowels of my garden:

After waiting nearly two weeks for my mower to be serviced, I finally cut the lawn today. Patches of it were close to a foot long. It’s amazing how a little trim neatens up the look of the yard. I like this lawn much more than our last, it’s flat!

While mowing, I stumbled up yet another mystery plant, actually there is a few of these. I haven’t had time to look it up yet but it’s pretty isn’t it:

In this patch there is a giant mass of fragrant oregano to the left and I found some potatoes while digging, so I’m going to pop in some more potatoes as well as some more poles for yet more beans. We’ll see how they do over here this summer, as well. We have some long bits of driftwood we scavenged from the beach that will make the perfect border to this little veggie patch. In the fore and background are the two pear trees:

And finally, our glorious magnolia. The petals have just started to fall:

Have I said how much I love this garden?
