This summer's flowers #3

Verbena. A little scrawny this year. I think I should have fertilized more.


The verbena is under the contorted filbert.


Petunias


Honeysuckle. It hasn't bloomed this summer. My theory is it needed to recover from the severe pruning I gave it last year. I cut it back to a mere stick to get rid of aphids.


The herb barrel: parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, and chives. I ruthlessly chopped down the chives because they were keeling over onto the other herbs.
