Joy - that's yarrow. Jack grew a packet of mixed colors back in '94 and now we have them in all the gardens - sometimes too many of them.

David - and just where did that come from?
All of the vegetable garden has copper trellises of one style or another - for tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, and peas. The peas are so wonderful! Jack made all the trellises. The tomato half of the garden is covered with bird mesh to keep the rotten dive-bombing crows out and Jack even made a copper door (covered with mesh) for easier access. It's to the right in this photo and has bricks at the bottom to keep the mesh in place. The garden hadn't been fully weeded and neither had the bricks so pardon the look of it.

Thanks, Dawn and flowerjen! It is peaceful when the mowing, edging and blowing brigades aren't around at the neighbor's homes.
