I'm getting ready to wildflower seed the 50ft utility easement behind my
fence. A neighbor a couple of houses down has been able to get a cluster
of bluebonnets going that include the white ones. Its interesting
watching them slowly spread out from the few he started with about 10
years ago.
A few years back a friend gave me a bunch of seed for a "moon" garden.
It turned out to be a variety of white flowers that really did look cool
under the moon.

It's planting time for trees and other perennials. Also herbs, which
reminds me I need to go buy some lavender to replace the one that
drowned. How on earth did it manage to drown in a raised bed with lots
of granite mixed in? Stupid floods.

We had one in a pot that lived a long life, but the ones on the ground
suffer a lot when it rains.
