I enjoy a bit of time gardening, but don’t like to have to “work” in the garden. I prefer to plant perennials that come up year after year, require little maintenance and attract wildlife. This allows me to spend more time enjoying my garden and less time obsessing over it. I just wish the weeds would cooperate.
Currently blooming in my perennial garden and their visitors:
Marigolds are among the few annuals I plant each year, as they attract predatory insects (e.g. ladybugs) that eat aphids and other insects harmful to my vegetable garden. I also find them to be beautiful — vibrant yellow or orange blooms from early summer to late fall.
