Garden happenings

Allium in the back plot, on the verge of bloom! 

Foreground: Larkspur. Behind that are virtually invisible allium (like blades of grass), and then foxglove. UPDATE: The foxglove disappeared within the next couple weeks. Eaten? Died? No idea. Sad.

The fall parsley seeds! UPDATE: these died within the next couple weeks. I think something pulled them up.

Peppers

Spanish bluebells. Should really plant some more of these bulbs in fall; they do well and are pretty.

I must confess it took a while to dawn on me that the sweet peas would not climb a huge lamp post; they want something small they can attach too. So I put strings along the lamp post in two different configurations to see which works best.

Funny story about the dianthus, above and below: I was so confused why the one below only bloomed on one side and then I realized (lots of realizations lately) that the brighter green leaves are actually a huge mound of some type of vigorous grass. Must pull it up.

Foreground to background: Zinnias, cornflower, baby's breath (not really visible, so short) and more zinnias.

More zinnias! Up to our eyeballs in zinnias.
