A Garden For 2 (Hundred and Fifty)

Our backyard, almost all in flowers this year (save a few herbs) in preparation for the wedding, has really come into its own the last few weeks. We've planted mostly fall-flowering plants, hoping they'll all hold out for the end of September: Zinnias, Blanket Flower and Marigolds, lots and lots of Marigolds.

The Zinnias (below) will be for decoration and lovely bouquets for my lovely women: Renee, Brooke, Sarah, Hannah, Myra, Annie, Kelly and Erin.



The Marigolds will be for my bouquet -- they're double ruffled, which means they're kind of like double-stuffed. I like anything double-stuffed (french toast, Oreos...) so I'm sure I'll love these.

I'm no farmer, not like Jacob, so everyone send your good gardening vibes my way and hope these suckers last until Sept. 20.
