I went to the local expensive nursery and bought some zinnia which I have never planted before. I was hoping for some annuals that will bloom all summer long. I guess the snapdragons often stop blooming once the heat sets in, and mine are already starting to looked peaked. I did deadhead some, which I don't usually do (for snapdragon) so we will see if that helps.
I also bought a small alstroemerias -- which I have never been able to get to grow in my yard even though every one else can! I planted it next to the fence next to a new clematis vine which is looking beautiful -- though fairly hidden. I hope they both do well!
I also added a new penstemon.
Everything seems to be coming up well - the butterfly bush though has barely grown and my salvias have barely started poking up (except the one on the deck) - perhaps it is too early??
