Plant Pictures of the Fourth of July Weekend

A three-day weekend, woo-hoo! So, how's the summer gardening going so far?

Here's the first Zowie Zinnia of the season:




Here are two of my big pots. The Sedum Matrona is still trucking right along on the left. It has already been in bloom a while. And the green "lavender" pot is on the right, although you'd be right to notice that the big green things in there are definitely not lavender.




There is lavender in there, though (having come back from last year.) The robust green leaves are from burpee's giveaway packet of sunflower mix. Taking a cue from history, I decided the best way to fix the drainage problem was to task some sunflowers with sucking up the extra water.
