This milkweed will be a haven for bees and butterflies next summer. #wintergarden #patiogarden #milkweek #decembergarden #canadiangarden It might be a cold start to November, but I’m still nipping into the herb garden to add flavour to dinner. Like parsley, thyme and rosemary for a beef stew. #herbgarden #cookingwithherbs We may have had frost, but this blossom bravely opened anyway. #fallgarden #dahlias #sponsored See my review of the #FuelYourDay!
