August and fresh corn go hand in hand, right? So I'm going to stitch the ear of corn from "Farmer's Market" by The Prairie Schooler. I do like most of the food motifs in this chart, but decided to start small and try out one for size - maybe someday I'll get around to stitching all twelve squares.
Thank goodness for pollinators! No corn without them, and I surely couldn't garden without their help.
I rely on the efforts of bees and hummingbirds and other nameless beneficial insects.
Much like a cross stitch designer, when I garden, I try to create small, pleasing motifs. This is a study in blue.
This is a study in burgundy.
I think of everything (literally 200 pots of plants), this is my favorite.
I love the blue-green sempervivums and sedums, with the beige and cream distressed planting box.
But then I also really like this combination of sedums - colors and textures both.
The bees though don't much care for the sedums as they are generally not in bloom.
