My new Nikon has been dysfunctional lately so I found my old Canon and finally took a few pics of our Ohio style BF garden to catch up with all of you! I have enjoyed your shots of your gardens and BFs so much.

This is a shot of the front sunny border--mostly milkweeds (3 kinds) , rudbeckias, echinaceas, parsley, dill, daylilies, lantana and verbena, coreopsis, asters and phlox. I didn't mass the color the way I should have, but, oh, well...there is a lot of purple bloom in this bed which doesn't show up on the photo.

We made this flower bed last fall using the 'lasagna method'--layering compost, newspapers, chopped leaves to about 15 inches high over the grass. It's been a big success as far as we are concerned! Very easy to move plants around in it (whenever I change my mind, which is often!)
