You have a wonderful hollyhock plant there. But, I can see that the world has already notified you! :) They reseed themselves nicely so there should be more for next year.

I used to think they were poisonous to pets, however, they can cause dermatitis in both pets and people when touched. How about that? Who knew?

I love the little garden gate ! Such a sweet spot to take a break from life. Nature has always been so good to me, giving and giving, without asking for anything in return. Much like a parent, in my opinion. So, just like my elders, I like to show them the respect and love they deserve.

My compost has always done better than the garden. That is no manure for sure! ;) It always grows the biggest squash and melons! AND TOMATOES!!
