Garden Progress
Dill — this is for the Monarch caterpillars.
Purple coneflower (Echinacea) — I also have coneflowers in white, red, and green.
Common sage — we also have tricolor sage, golden sage, and purple sage.
Chamomile
My favorite vegetable to grow — lettuce. Unfortunately, “THEY” won’t eat my lettuce. “THEY” prefer packaged store-bought lettuce — the kind all cut up and brown.
Asparagus — Ava and Helena cook this with beef stock and it’s delicious.
New strawberry plants.

Columbine
Delphinium — we hope to show this at the Mercer County Fair.

Your gardens are beautiful and they are very inspiring!
I thought the Monarch caterpillar lived on milkweed?

Hi Laurie!
Your lettuce is beautiful! I’d love some, and I have the perfect homemade dressing for it!
From the pregnant lady whose cravings have changed from eggrolls (which my dear husband treated me to tonight), over to salad, cucumbers, radii, & celery…

P.S. I can get to your website again!

Your gardens look great! Part of me wishes I still had a garden, but it was so much work with so little to show for it in the end. (We found out that a gravel road used to cut across our back yard right where we had our garden!)

Hello Laurie,
Your lettucce look very beauty and delicius. I wish be there and make me a salad with it.

Jessica,
You’re right! Dill attracts the swallowtails — which are similar in appearance to the monarchs. Laurie

I’m not picking any of that.

Hi mom. I like lettuce!
June 24th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Mrs. Bluedorn, I think the Delphinium are beautiful, blue flowers are my favorite.

I think that I would like the lettuce, I just wouldn’t like the asparagus.

Hi Laurie,
Sounds like you need Hans to pick a bunch of stuff from the garden and have a salad party!!! I’ll bring the dressing.
Love in Christ,
Christine
P.S. I can now access your blog & comments, no problem through both IE & Foxfire. I did have to clear out my cookies & history earlier today to be able to.
