Veggie Garden this Week ~ Flowering Veggies & another Raised Bed

After building another raised garden bed in my Veggie Patch earlier this week...




... another wonderFULL #gardening day.
Flowering zucchini and tomatoes,
germinating pak choi and cucumbers.
Blessed with nature's bounty. 










Plans for this week are  more border gardens around some of the raised beds and finding pots for more herbs and it looks like it's going to be time to plant out the beans! 

The Flowers and Plants of Hecate

The Flowers and Plants of Hecate. 
Lovely people contact me at least once a week asking which Gods and Goddesses are connected with flowers and plants and visa versa. These are featured in an upcoming title of mine that I have been working on for years now, so you will all have this information on hand whenever you wish. 
Today I was asked about Hecate and as she comes up so often here are just a few flower and plants associated with her: 
Hemlock, Black Poplar, Garlic, Monkshood, Oak, Willow, Yew
and of course ~ Cyclamen.

The Nottingham Catchfly (Silene nutans)

From my night, a flower for you! 
Nottingham Catchfly (Silene nutans) 
Meanings: 
letting go of habits,
promise of independence,
false friendships & loves revealed
