This week the summer annuals have begun to put on a spectacular show. This year I have been experimenting with growing a cutting garden. Among the flowers blooming are some old fashion favorites; cosmos, lavender, snapdragons, cleome and cosmos. I have been learning how to do simple hand tied bouquets by viewing videos like the one linked to this post.  |
