Russian Sage


For the first month of Spring I lamented quite often that our front yard was the worst looking one on the strip of homes all built and landscaped by the same builder. I really felt like we had somehow gotten the shaft when it came to number and quality of plantings. Now that we are well into summer however, I quite like what we have going on. We have some of the biggest and best looking russian sage plants and another funny little plant that must be some kind of herb as well, because it smells fantastic whenever I break off a stem. I almost wish we had our own hive of bees since the are loving our russian sage plants, we might as well get some of the honey they are making from them.
