Far from it! But some of my flower beds were so crowded that you couldn't even see some of them. I just thinned them out, that's all.

But I'm so partial to my Queen Red Lime, they fascinate me.

You're lucky your veggies have done so well. Ours - yuck. No peppers at all and the tomatoes are just so-so. The herbs are doing wonderfully though. I wonder why the white coneflower (which in the picture looks more of a greenish-yellow!) looks so different than the purple coneflower? The flower shape is totally different. I love coleus...I'll have to remember to get some next year. Love the hyssop...that would look gorgeous in my butterfly garden. I like the "wild" look much better than orderly. Orderly is too fussy!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507050173444646286.post-57344469507227973222013-08-10T11:44:07.763-04:002013-08-10T11:44:07.763-04:00So glad your summer is going so well!

Your lime and red zinnias are quite unique. tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507050173444646286.post-5639742522478285122013-08-10T07:46:59.225-04:002013-08-10T07:46:59.225-04:00Your garden is feeding the body and the soul.
