Red Hot Poker – I’ve always wanted one of these in my garden
We are technically in a drought right now but my gardens have been doing great with minimal watering. I owe it to the very thick layer of mulch that I try to maintain. My morning ritual once I’ve fed the kitties and let the dogs out is to check for eggs and do any watering that needs doing, mostly in the container garden. Today I decided to walk around with my camera and capture some shots of what’s been growing and blooming.

Wow, plants are thriving, beautiful!
Your garden looks lovely. Great mix of so many plants. Moroccan Mint might just make it on my list for next season to grow. Let me know how it does!
Thank you! It’s a mint, so I’m sure it will be more than fine! Never killed a mint plant yet…
