I am pretty happy with the way the front garden across from my front door looks. I have mostly purple flowers with a contrasting touch of the orange nasturtiums and Pinwheel Zinnia. My mom bought me a 4-6 pk of the zinnias for under $1 and I gave a couple to Sean and kept some. They spread so nicely.
Here’s the garden:

The purples and pinks are Nemesia and Salvia. I had to treat the Salvia a lot with bug spray as the insects love to nibble on it. The Zinnias and Nasturtiums are in the right corner. On the other side is a coleus with a peeking of the gold/yellow mums coming into bloom. (Ignore the weeds behind the salvia-need to get to them). This is all under a huge evergreen where I have plantings all the way around.

Does anyone know what this plant is? It came up by itself in a shady area of the yard:

For Zoey-the Crepe Myrtle is blooming now. I was out taking photos of the above and around the yard yesterday. That was after I was pulling out a garden cart of weeds from the flower bed next to the photo above. Today I am feeling it in my shoulder blades. Sean and I are going over to my Uncle Don’s to trim some hedges for him. Bri and I did it a few years back.
