Happy Spring from here Amongst The Oaks. The Joseph's Coat roses are looking splendid just now. This first flush of blooms will last two weeks and then I'll get a ladder and cut off the spent flowers and we'll get a second bloom and more flowers throughout the summer, but it never looks as wonderful as this first bloom. So I had to share it with you.That little bed beneath the window has some oregano and chives, but I think I'll plant more herbs there soon. It's so handy to step outside the kitchen for a snip of something. Rosemary grows like a weed, and sage would do well there too. And maybe some parsley, but not basil. We usually plant about 12 basil plants out in the vegetable garden where they get more sun and more water. We do love our pesto.
Thinking of planting and enjoying the roses here Amongst The Oaks.
wow! that is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I won't have any roses for at least 6 weeks, so this is a real treat. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy aunt and uncle had an entire rose garden in their yard. I wish I had paid more attention as a kid to what they did to maintain those beauties! I love your roses, I can sit back and smell them now! I also love the herb garden! Hugs from Anne
