every year i kind of get taken by surprise, i turn around and it's august, and my yard is a jungle. i'm the crazy plant lady, this month, more so than any other ;) this year things seems particularly TALL. take a look:
weird sunflowerey things. not sure they are all that cool, but about 9 ft. tall....
then there is the real thing. this year i planted a "mammoth" variety
- up to 12 ft. tall. yup.
- up to 12 ft. tall. yup.
"kiss me over the garden gate" - a self seeder, although i transplanted these and they got a late start...probably 7 or 8 ft. tall.
assorted vines and such. the one on the far right goes up over the roof of the sun porch.
the purple fountain grass on the left was a bit of a surprise. every year, i plant some in a pot and it gets around 18" tall. this year, i ran outta room and decided to put it in the ground. it's now 5 or 6 ft. in circumference, and i cannot get into the door of the sun porch. wow!
cosmos to hide the neighbor. not that tall, but alot prettier than him :)
