Will the garden is really coming together, you should be proud, I love the pics. Had to laugh at the plant in the fountain, I do that also but usually it is in the bird bath or watergarden waterfall. The birds have gotten use to it and just jump in bird bath anyway.

I got rain again today, so nice, and apparently alot from what I heard. Maybe a few things will come out of it and not die. I have lost so many plants.

Ok I took pictures of the house with the zinnias out front but at 55 it is a little hard to see. The other problem she is like me and can't water, but you can see how many she planted from seed!

The next two pics are from a friends house. First you will notice all the zinnias that are fertilized I am guessing with chickens because she has a bunch of chickens. In the second picture just inside the zinnias I have never seen a butterfly bush that looks more like tree in my life, it is huge!
