June

Petunias in the window box four days until summer. Petunias love sun but they had to adjust to the hot direct sun in the window box. I watered daily. Once they adjusted I could water less. It's summer vacation for me until August when school starts again. The best part of going back is that I won't be there for long. I'm retiring and so looking forward to it.

I was going to throw out these pot because nothing was emerging months after planting them. The caladium are alive after all.

I guess the narcissus I pulled can now be stored for fall planting.

The pansies are still hanging on in the heat.

A volunteer sunflower amongst the ivy.

Balloon flower looks good this year.

I planted coleus and zinnias amongst the perennials earlier in spring before everything emerged. Don't know if the zinnias will make it but they're trying to reach for the sun.

Another patch of zinnias in the flower bed and my stock seeding which hasn't bloomed yet.

Another type of stachy lambs ear, named hummelo with the purple flowers. Everything is fighting for space this season.

Snapdragon seedings actually made it. They were a mess of seedlings not separated. In the winter when I start more, pelleted seeds have been ordered to make it easier.

Some of the snapdragons are getting longer thicker stems, yeah.

Zinnia seeds planted in the container are getting larger every time it rains. We've had lots of rain this spring although I have to water in between.

Cosmos

The small area I cleared of ivy for my seedlings. Cosmos, sunflowers, zinnias, snapdragons, and other sprinkled seedlings. Looking forward to the blooms.
