The Wild, the Cultivated and the Edible

The Orange Hawkweed (also known as Devil's Paintbrush) is a wildflower that grows on the edge of the field right next to the "formal" garden.  I tell Bob who mows my property to let it be, I like the bright orange. Of course, the Iris are intentionally planted as is the chives which blossom in June, a left over from the time this was a vegetable garden 20+ years ago.  It faithfully returns every year.  John is working on weeding the walks and the beds, a seemingly endless task that he actually enjoys, bless him.  We got a bit of rain last night which was most welcomed.  More rain this afternoon.
