My perennials are pretty happy - despite neglect. This bleeding heart has about taken over the entire bed it's in.
No matter how many I pull up, I still end up with spires of foxglove scattered through out the beds.
The love-in-a-mist (Nigella), feverfew and forget-me-nots are not-forgettable and grow up in every possible crevasse.
Despite much-too-late, and very heavy pruning, the roses are out and blooming.
Another prolific re-seeder - the lavender, four-foot tall poppies in the lettuce beds...
It *is* gratifying to be out in the yard again.

Thanks for your comment. I was just on my way to you :-) I too have bleeding hearts and foxgloves in my garden. I love these. You know not to move foxgloves, right? :-)
Meant to say, well done on meeting that deadline. Enjoy the rest of your time off :-)
How I love poppies and their short, dramatic life. My garden is empty of them and used to be full. Must do somehting baout that next year...
Beautiful photos, Tara.
mine is very neglected as well! but my nigella is growing great too!
Lovely flowers - Rose pic, bleeding heart .....!!
