    Don't feel bad for not grabbing more yarrow! Next year you will have waaaaay more plant and you will want to divide them. Yarrow multiplies like CRAZY! 😉

    What a sweet garden! the raised beds are the best way to keep things where you want them to be. I feel that I always wonder what I did last year. But take a picture so you can go back to the way you planted them, good or not so good. We need rain here in Iowa also. Our grass is really getting brown. Plus the flowers and bushes really like the rain instead of the watering. I picked up a couple things at Wal Mart the other day. now where to plant them. Perennials.At my age I want them more. Thanks Joyce

(Good thing it's so pretty!😉) If you want to control it, collect the seeds(brown ends dry into little comma shaped seeds) & scatter them where you want them. I love your plant selections!

    Once your nepeta is fading cut it back and it will flush a second time. That lavender looks like Spanish. Be sure your soil is amended with sand or something similar that’s free draining for your lavender plants. I divide and propagate my lavender, catmint and lots of others usually in spring sometimes fall to increase my plants on a budget. I love your color scheme. Such a lovely home and garden.

    I love catmint growing in my gardens. I also put it in huge pots and it just blooms and blooms all summer if you give it a big enough pot. It does wonderfully in galvanized tubs with holes punched in the bottom for drainage, as does lavender. I always fill the pots super full of dirt and make sure the plants are sitting tall which gives them plenty of growing room and good drainage for the whole summer. And Russian sage!! You need some!! Beautiful lavender plants for late summer and fall. The bees love ALL of these plants. 👍👍. Put a potting table out there and you can have lots of new baby starts off all these plants, too! ☺️☺️

      Pine and Prospect Home I think your lavender plant is the variety “Phenomenal”. Not 100% sure but it looks like one of mine and that’s what the tag reads. I think it’s English. Spanish lavender is more pink with a bigger flower head and bigger petals, I believe.

    Cut your catmint back mid season and it will reflush for you. Quickly too. Then they'll remain beautiful and blue until snow the flies.
