So I'm fairly confident now that there WILL be some flowers in here!
Unfortunately none of my ladybird poppies really amounted to anything, but the Shirley Poppies from Pare, my neighbor, are growing nicely.
In the pot: mint
top right: creeping thyme, flowered in beginning of summer and has doubled in size its first year.
-to the left of it are 3 dwarf Jacob's ladder and 3 alpine poppies. The Jacob's ladder was cut back after flowering in June-early July, and is now flowering again. The poppies were done early July.
-the rest of the greenery is poppies to the right, and zinnias to the left, still anxiously awaited.
I'm considering putting a lavender hedge in the back of this garden for some year-round interest...and moving several floppy asters from the other side where I don't know where to put them. Also, I think this bed needs something low and long-blooming edging it, maybe aubretia, and some wallflowers in spring and something else a foot or so high in summer, to provide a foreground while my cut-flowers are growing.
