a friend’s coastal garden September 15, 2007

Here are a couple more photos from my friend’s garden up the coast. Besides this bed of flowers and herbs, she and her husband have a large vegetable patch, and another of raspberries. I love the walkways and and raised beds they use, and everything is so neat and tidy. This shot was taken earlier in the summer, and that nicotiana in the middle towers over her now. The yard is full of butterflies and birds, and the water is just out front. This is my idea of a perfect Maine place.
Wow! Look at the size of that nicotiana!
What a lovely time you must have had there among such a well-tended garden.
That is one tidy garden, but I’ll bet that nicotiana sylvestris is now taking up more than its fair share of air space! Very nice.
Sure wish my garden looked as tidy as hers. My borage has reseeded all over the place and I just don’t have the heart to tear it out. I’m really going to have to get better at thinning things out, but at the beginning of the season, I’m just so grateful to see anything green!
It is a perfect Maine place! I love her garden and her home!
Very nice, organized, and tidy. Beautiful Maine garden, for sure!
That is a beautiful garden.
I don’t think I’ve seen nicotiana so large that it would tower over a person!
What a beautiful garden your friend has. I love this Nicotiana, although every time I’ve grown it, it gets infested with aphids. It has the best scent!
Is that a borage plant in the bottom photograph?
kate, yes that is borage.
What a lovely and neat garden. I aspire to that someday. And everything is so full and lush!
