The Second Week Of July In The Front Yard

It's another front yard update. Lots more babies are bloomin'. Including the Hydrangeas. This lace cap one is in the driveway by the back door. It was here when I bought the house. I looooove it.

In the main garden, the Phlox are blooming. This is the only one I've ever bought - all my others are hand-me-downs from other yards. I dug for the tag, but couldn't find it. It's the prettiest color of purple.

This hot pink one came from my grandma's yard. It's bloomin' its little heart out, but it's covered in mildew already. :(

I don't have the heart to do it when it's blooming so good, but it will have to be whacked to the ground.

I was taking pictures of it from outside the fence and look who photo bombed.

Can ya see it?

He's after the Verbena Bonariensis.

Apparently the flies like it, too. Ick.

Next to the pink Phlox, I have a pot of Ivy Geraniums up on a stand, that are just now starting to finally get goin' good.

Pink, pink, and more pink.

Here's a few shots from the sidewalk side.

I must have reused some old potting soil. There's a Creepin' Zinnia (I can't remember the name of it - maybe starts with an S) poppin' up in the mix.

On the other side of the stand is a Dahlia. I got my first flower. I think there must be two different ones that got planted together. The other is just solid lavender without the white tips, but it isn't blooming yet.

One lone Zinnia has started blooming.

This Ann Folkhard Geranium is starting to do its vining around the Day Lily and through the fence. I love it.

This little Snapdragon must have reseeded from a couple years ago. There's a new Dahlia comin' up under the chair, but no buds yet. More 'Autumn Joy' Sedum behind it.

A mixed pot stuck in. This one is Coleus, White Zinnias, and Lobelia.

One of zillions of tomato seedlings popping up. They come up everywhere. Must be from my homemade compost.

These are in the new bed where I took out the Rhodies. Bandana White and Bandana Cherry Lantana.

A pot with Coleus, Sweet Potato Vine, Zinnias, and Angelonia.

The white Salvia in the ground is Snow Nymph. It's the one I grew in pots last year and LOVED, so I'm tryin' it in the ground.

The pink variegated leaf plant is Alteranthera 'Party Time.' It's my first time growing it. It's in a pot with the 'Bandana Cherry' Lantana. A 'Wasabi' Coleus is in the ground behind it.

And that's it for out front. Backyard babies up next.
