It's garden season! What have you added to your garden this year? If nothing, what was already in it?

Our passionflowers experiment last year worked- they both survived the winter- so we picked up two more. I love these so much- I wish the flowers lasted longer than a day!

We're trying artichoke (I don't know why- we'll probably end up with exactly one, which we wont' eat because I'll forget to pick it and then decide it's too pretty to pick anyway)

Some replacement tomato and basil plants

A new kind of fuschia I found at a nursery with black flowers (and apparently a misleading name)

And I finally decided to do roses- which I will do my best not to turn into aphid food. And some hollycock and columbines. And some other flowering plant that I honestly couldn't recognize in a lineup, but we thought the pictures looked pretty at the time.

And then finally a new giant kind of pitcher plant for the carniverous plant garden.


My backyard is the most motley assortment of plants, but it's fun.



What is everyone else growing this season?
