Annual Flowers


The sweet peas I started from seed are all starting to bloom over at the Lobster Shack.  I attached some bird netting (used to protect fruiting bushes, like blueberries) to the picket fence to help them climb.  It works great and from a few feet away you can barely notice it.  The mixed variety I planted has a nice blend of pink, purple, white and salmon blooms, they smell great too!


The calendula that volunteers every year is just starting to bloom as well.  Annual flowers like these are great to add constant color in the garden, as perennial flowers come and go.
