The Entrance to Mr. McGregor's Garden

This flower bed is in front of my vegetable garden--the entrance so to speak. It has turned into quite a show pony! The dianthus, roses, and irises fill the air with fragrance and the bees sing to you as they bump in and out of the salvia. It's English, rustic, and old fashioned--exactly the look I was after. I wasn't a "Knock-Out" rose fan at first. They don't have a great form as far as that goes. But they smell heavenly, they bloom constantly, and they are low maintenance. I'm thinking they might be great for a back border. Yes, it may be a vegetable garden but by golly I want it to be a pretty one!
