Lovely daisies - they fill in a long flower bed beautifully each spring. They intermix with golden poppies, campanula bells, roses and other plants.  They are a perennial that comes back each year - if they spread too much I just pull them out.  They sway gently in the breeze and add a fresh white color to the green of spring. Their only downside is they don't smell very good! I am never tempted to cut them for a bouquet. In another month or so they will be gone - replaced by crocosmia, lilies and baby's breath.
It was about 42 degrees this morning - very cold for this time of year.  The poor basil plants were shivering - hope they make it!
A great benefit of the vegetable garden - running out to pick some fresh lettuce to put on sandwiches!
