This weekend’s post is big, mainly because it’s that time of year when EVERYTHING is happening at once in the garden and there’s so much I want to talk about: an easy planting combination, the rose of the month (might have to be rose of the week, there are so many to choose from), front garden bliss, a GORGEOUS new book, two very lovely gardens…. and more. I may have to edit myself, again.

And there’s that mystery plant again, at the bottom of the photo.
