Choice Morsels

Yesterday I was working on adding edging between the house foundation & the Hosta bed on the North side of the house, since it was the only dry day between rainy days.  Today's Garden Pic features some new Blue Salvia I added to my front bed this spring!

Well, the Pex pipe used to replumb gives the ice and faucet water a slightly plastic taste, kind of like water tastes after getting warm and sitting in a plastic cup overnight.  It doesn't smell. Just tastes. We hope it will wear off in time, but in the meantime--filtering.  The garden looks so pretty in spring, when it's fresh and so much is coming into bloom!
