My gardening is sadly limited these days, what with a bad back, wonky knees, and perilous balance. And our entryway is already thick with iris, day lilies, and other perennials. But I really wanted a patch of foxgloves. So last summer I made a little bed for them by simply dumping a bag of potting soil in front of the rock wall , surrounding it with rocks, and sprinkling foxglove seeds over it.

And now, oh joy!, I have my foxgloves! They made leaves last year but now they have put up into stately spires of purple, white, and lavender.
With any luck, they'll self-sow and my foxglove patch will persevere.
I am ridiculously pleased with these beauties.
I am tempted to add another small bed--maybe this time of lupines . . . or cosmos . . .or . . .
