The unexpected garden! I didn’t have plans for this space but the monarchs from last year inspired me! A lot of Texas natives & lots of zinnia seeds

10 days away. Had to rely strictly on my irrigation system & drip lines that I attached to the water hose to take care of everything.

I have trust issues with my irrigation. But most everything did really well. There’s one corner that I put some of my hanging baskets and pots that I didn’t get around to planting yet. Needless to say the sprinkler ran, but the wind blew it not on the plants!

Guara is just a superstar. Look at those babies.

Rudbeckia has been a show this year! Doesn’t really need extra water & has bloomed all summer.
The plants stay evergreen in winter so it’s not a completely bare spot.

My first year, just throwing out a bunch of zinnia seeds. The ones in the ground definitely do a lot better than the ones in my raised beds. And a lot of these reseeded from last year. Win win!

The 3 amigos said hello today!
My only hardy hibiscus that survived the move & got planted in the ground. It’s a good month behind my hardy hibiscus that I planted in the raised beds.

One of the things I love about gardening, is that the gifts of plants, always make me think about the person who gifted them to me.
John Fannick phlox was given to me from a neighbor several years ago at my home in Woodland Springs. Now it’s made its way to Aledo. Can’t wait for it to be covered in butterflies.

This purple pillar rose of Sharon stopped me in my tracks this morning! So many beautiful flowers.

Cannas! They will be here after the earth ends. I got a dwarf one to use as a thriller in this pot.
Cannas don’t survive winters very well in pots so I will dig up the bulb before the first freeze and store the bulb inside until it’s safe to put her back outside.

My mind has been. I won’t buy Cool Wave petunias again. Cool wave pictured first. Proven Winners supertunias on the right. Same watering schedule. Same fertilizer.
Much different results

Almost halfway through June & everything looks so happy.  But the hot comes today!
