FRIDAY FINDS

June 12, 2015

I forgot to show you a couple of photos that I meant to include in yesterday’s post about what’s happening in the garden. The ‘Blue Angel’ hostas in a corner of the garden have not yet recovered from a hasty division a year or two ago when they were badly in need of it so there is a little extra room on the edge of that bed. The local hardware store (my favorite place to buy flowers these days; great selection and much better prices than dedicated garden centers) had all their annuals on sale and I picked up all the begonias in the salmon pink/orange/pink-tinged yellow color range. Originally I was thinking of just white flowers there, but I’m really liking this more colorful option.

Now, onto some Friday Finds.

I don’t think I’d ever have the chutzpah to have a green kitchen but some of these are pretty great.

Until I read about this BH&G showhouse on Lauren’s blog I knew nothing of it and it’s only 20 minutes from my office. I’m excited about it, but mostly because Lauren decorated the inside and I fall a little more in love with her style every day.

I’ve been dreaming about this salad since I saw this recipe, but I want to wait for a homegrown tomato to make it.

There are a lot of new shrubs that I’m pretty keen on these days (subject of a future post), but I’m really excited about Tiny Tuff Stuff hydrangea. I’m growing a regular Tuff Stuff this year and if I’m happy with its performance, I may buy a whole bunch of its diminutive cousin.

This is officially my last “free” weekend until the end of July so it’s do or die time in the garden. We’re approaching the point where things that don’t get finished, won’t be done this year and I hate when I have to make that call. What’s on your agenda for the weekend?
