One of My Favorite Late Summer Herbs

My bronze fennel is blooming in the back garden. It's a little hard to see in this photo. I'm going to watching closely (Ha!) so I can cut the flowers before they seed everywhere in the garden. I think that the bronze fennel looks good with the purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) and the black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia fulgida ‘Goldsturm’). Really muggy and hot today. Got another batch of raspberry jam made. Got to get my Mother Earth News Fair handouts done and speech timed! May disappear for a couple of days. Hope you have a great Labor (Can't believe it!) Day weekend! Cooler here next week. Talk to you later.

YES, blogging is the greatest. We make real friends by sharing with so many. I love it.

Oh, oh, oh, I have bronze fennel popping up everywhere in my Calif. gardens...even in tiny terra cotta pots. Boy, will I have my work cut out for me when we get home.

Sending love,
