    The annuals are mostly doing well, and the fall perennials are starting to bloom. Here are a few.

    As I mentioned before, I totally love the way your garden is interspersed with the bright, happy colors of nasturtiums. Very pretty!

    Your garden not only looks good with all that colour but it shouts 'summer' doesn't it? Beautiful.

    What a bright and colourful garden you have there! I bet your neighbours are jealous, I certainly am.

    I do love those nasturtiums! I am amazed that your phlox is in full bloom now.

    Seeing your flowers is a very happy thing. Summer flowers are surely great.

    Thanks all for the kind comments. You all will make my head swell.

    Cayuga Morning, when do your phlox bloom? It took my little packaged starts years to show their stuff, but it was worth the wait.

    Stratsmom, I just keep planting tons of seeds every month starting the end of May and pray. We have had a real summer this year so success. Last year not so much with all the cool weather. The seeds tend to rot, so I have to collect them if I don't want to spend a fortune on seeds.

    Happy gardening all.

    Hi Jewell, My phlox is just starting to bloom today. I am in MA. I guess we are a bit behind you. We are zone 6A.

    Yes, I do love the scent! I have some generic pink ones, but I also have 'David', a clear white. He's gorgeous (but hasn't started blooming yet this year).
