My garden (I can grow more then just weeds!)

:lol:

Ok, they are mostly weeds...

I love these straw flowers, I'm so glad I got some thing year (tried last year but I think it was too cold/wet). Does anyone know if I can collect seeds & how to do that? Otherwise I'll just buy another package of seeds - they are gorgeous!

(I know that thing with the round leaves is a weed, but it has pretty purple flowers right now so I'm waiting until they fade to pull it :D)

The sunflowers are coming in slowly, I can't wait! I planted a whole variety of colour but I believe most of these will be the lemon yellow.

The little green sticks are my bearded irises, transplanted from the abandoned bed/mess on the side of the house.

I've got my scarlet runner bean & those lovely Baby Blue Eyes which have really exploded lately.

More Guess the Weed Fun! :D

I really like the texture in the garden (nice contrast) so I kept it - NO idea what it is.

The poppies really do look nice now that they've all come in - all pink & purple!

Ok, the side garden still needs some work, but I'm chipping away at it!

Well they may not be too much to show off - but I'm proud! :D

Looks like a good start, now you just need to replace the weeds with other flowers.

The purple flower weed, not sure what it is, but it's a wildflower and I had a pot with on in there too. Had tons of purple flowers, but died once it got hot. I'm not sure what the other weed is either, but I have them too(only thing growing in one garden where my onions died).
