In Michigan mid June is strawberry picking time. We have a small patch in our garden and enjoy the fruits in fresh strawberry pie, strawberry shortcake and preserved in strawberry jam.

Fresh Strawberries!

It's all about the plants.
This time of year it's all about the plants. Every place I go there are plants for sale. I have to bring home a few herbs and just a couple of new flowers for my perennial garden. Before I know it there are several flats of flowers lined up on my porch waiting to find their place in one of my planters. I never have a plan so my yard looks different every year. I see planters in yards that all look very planned and I think how beautiful my yard would look with something similar but when it comes down to it, I always end up with a messy hodge podge of flowers growing in a variety of planters.

| Sometimes certain color combinations just appeal to me. |

| A variety of sedum in the top and miscellaneous bulbs growing in pots until they find a permanent home somewhere in my yard. |
