While walking around checking on plants, snapped some pictures of real wildflowers that I did not plant. Some wildflower seeds I like to sow, like poppies and lemon mint, but these are the real deal.

Seedlings are getting bigger. Need to work on my timing…Lost some fireworks gomphrena because Zinnias grew faster and shaded them out.

One of the hardest parts of gardening is cutting everything back in the spring. I used to do this manually with hand tools. Now I use a battery operated hedge trimmer made by Dewalt. I use it to cut back many plants including sage, salvia, mist flower, turks cap, lemon grass and bamboo muhley. Saves a lot of time, but still a lot of work. Here is the garden after the trimming and cleanup.
