It's Thursday.... Again...

There is not much knitting to report. I have been working on a market bag that came as a kit that I got at Maryland Sheep and Wool in 07. The pattern was easy to follow but keeping the stitches on the needle?? Not so much. I had to rip it back and restart it 6 times. Every time I would be short stitches by the 4th row. I decided to do it in plain stockinette instead. I just have the handles left to do. So now I distract you with some pictures of flowers that I can actually grow in my garden.
My most prized flower. A peony. It was the first thing that I planted in my garden when we moved into the house. Still alive and has more blooms every year.

Oh! The double Dahlia. I found this pretty dark orange one at the new Home Depot by my house.


And the double Impatient. These and regular Impatients are very hardy. I can manage to keep them alive!!
How does your garden grow???
