Gardening this weekend

The garden is looking pretty good. I've weeded a lot this past week, so that chore is not really needed right now.

I did plant a bunch of seeds today - cosmos, "Van Gogh" sunflowers, butterfly flowers, Mexican sunflowers. I then watered up all the beds, since we are having a dry spring spell.

The bed on the south side of the house - hard to water and hot as heck in the summer -was seeded with a Xeriscape flower mix. They are starting to come up, and I'm so excited! My hope is that the bed is full of luscious flowers that require zero water and zero weeding (once established, they should crowd out the weeds).
