Ok, so I’m five days late with my Garden Bloggers Bloom Day post. I couldn’t miss this one either since I’ve missed getting June blooms posted for the last two years! Anyway, here’s my quick version of a bloom day post. Enjoy.
FREE-RANGE CHICKEN GARDENS. I have the pleasure of being included in Jessi Bloom's beautiful book (pages 27, 51 upper left, 112, 114-117). Check it out!
THE NEW LOW MAINTENANCE GARDEN. This book by Val Easton is one of my favorite design books.
WICKED PLANTS: Great read about poisonous plants by Amy Stewart.
THE VEGETABLE GARDENER'S BIBLE. My favorite vegetable garden reference book by Edward C. Smith.
GROW. COOK. EAT. by Willi Galloway is a beautiful vegetable garden cookbook. Great recipes and tips on eating ALL parts of the veggie - not just the mainstream parts.

I love your blossoms. That pink Lupine is to die for. I’m still waiting on mine.

I do love the pink Lupine but have had the best luck with the purple ones. Who knows why.

Beautiful photos! Everything still looks fresh and green :) We’ve had less than an inch of rain during June and my Midwest garden is starting to look a little stressed! Could I use a photo (and link back to your site) of your chicken coop on my Community Chickens blog?
(communitychickens.com) I’m writing a post about living roof coops and I would love to share yours!

Rebecca, of course! I’d love it if you used the photo. Thanks for asking.
We’re really blessed up here in the PNW with a lot of rain water but at the same time we’re still in the 60’s and rainy and that doesn’t make for a fun summer.
