June – We are lucky the flowers are stronger than our mistakes. Thanks for visiting.

I empathize so much with the feelings of failure when I am up close and confronting a particular problem. But when I stand back, I too revel in the beauty of it all. My failings are lavishly obscured by the flowers being flowers.

Nan – Watch out for that tansy! The rugosas can be invasive, I keep cutting back the little runners to try and keep them in check. I have a friend who says she herds her mint, like a little flock of sheep. I do the same with the rugosas. But they are hardy, and some of them are better mannered.

Oh, if I were only closer! I really loved reading this. We have some tansy which has popped up over the last couple years. It is along our dirt road and in a wild field so I don’t have to worry about it. But now I definitely won’t move it into the flower/vegetable garden area. I am feeling the invasiveness of my rosa rugosas. I don’t know the names but I am sick of them. Isn’t that awful to say one is sick of roses? :<) I just need to trim them out, but that is a job I leave to Tom. They are growing into the lawn and amongst the daffodils, and they really must go.
