Anneli's Atelier: Garden post 10

In honor of hubby's LONG summer vacation ending, we are going camping... I'm not really a camper, and honestly, I'm only going because I was promised smore's and because I'll never hear the end of it if I don't go.

I'll be looking forward to lake front views from our tent (silver lining folks) and watching the sun go down eating smore's.

Before I go, I thought I'd upload and share the latest garden pictures. I'm loving the plans for next summer, we just need to sketch them out and stick to them next summer!

We're toying with the idea of taking over a 4th allotment since we're starting to run out of room for all the things we want to grow. The plot next to us has been abandoned and overgrown for years, but it has potential. Hubby went over a week or two ago and chopped down the weeds (I hate that they spread onto our lot), and the idea kind of took over from there. I hope we can get the allotment, it would be nice to have more room to play!

(...but what we really need is a farm!)

Anywho, here's garden post 10!!

Here are the pictures in the order I took them...

Pansies! ♥♥

These were on my mom's balcony, but she brought them to be planted at the garden, hoping that they seed and grow next year. Beautiful colors!!

Our little snapdragons.

...A ranunculus.

To me, it's amazing that this grew!!

I had no idea you could grow these here in Finland but we planted seeds for giggles...and one sprouted up!!

I know what we're planting next year... :)

"Fairy"

I asked hubby to take a picture of me since my summer dress matched my boots so perfectly. This was by no means a practical gardening outfit, but a cool one anyway. Lol!

In the picture above, you can see a part of the sadder row of peas that has nasturtium planted in between. Here's a close up of the beautiful red flower.

I'm still getting a kick out of these cornflowers. Next year, I definitely want to plant blue ones.

We used to plant cornflowers every year, but stopped since they need support and can look a little messy.

I'm glad we came back to them!

My mom's favorite rose, "Romanze". This is a hardy rose for this climate. It ALWAYS looks amazing. :)

SO PINK!

Our fall hydrangea, going crazy!

A million cucumber flowers...

Along with nasturtium in between peas, we planted some sweet peas. I love the softness of the pink. :)

Pumpkins! What!! :) I want this to be a big one!!

We added a little brick path (bricks we meant to use for our patio but didn't). I think this looks super cute, despite the dead foxglove (need to harvest seeds) and the weeds...
