Oh the colours I got!! Plus my dream of having some Sunflowers happened. Those were the only items I chose that were NOT marked down yet.
DH instructed me to buy annuals ONLY to finish off the summer with because come fall he has his own layout of bulbs that are going into that bed that will hopefully thrive and return year after year!!
I hope to snap a photo when I get them all planted, that is once the sun stops beating down out there.......man it is some hot today. No complaints though.
Took a video of my garden last night, no dialogue, just a little silent tour.

My spouse passed away 21 months ago, and it still hurts. The rosebush bloomed on one of our special anniversaries, and I am taking that as a bouquet from the other side.
@Patty Smyth what can I say to that video? OMG doesn't nearly cover it. Every inch is covered with colour, hard work and blossoms!! You are one eager beaver, I was trying to imagine the work involved in maintaining a yard that size. You could fit our back yard into a tiny corner of yours and THAT exhausts me some days.
Thanks for sharing the video, loved the cat lazing on the lawn!!
I love flowers, though I don't have many on the go this summer. I have some sweet little Bachelor Buttons and the dwarf cosmos are just starting to open. Tried to post 2 pictures, but they are showing up sideways in the "preview", for some reason! *L*
What a beautiful way to mark the occasion and remember your loved one! Hugs to you, @GatineauGirl .Quote:

My hydrangeas are all in cages but even that doesn't hold them up anymore. I may have to cut out a few. Poor things just flop over and break halfway down the stems.
Here is a link to my garden photo album on Facebook if you are interested.
