Dahlia - This is the one from last year which I dug up before Winter. I think it's worth digging it up because it's far more healthy than it was last year. I have to trim the bottom leaves to get a big flower.
Hydrangea - Last year, there were no blooms because we pruned it. We've also had a mild winter which seems to have helped because the previous owner told us it never bloomed for her in her 20 years of being there.
This picture is for one of my readers. See how big your hydrangea will get?
Cathedral bells - Vigorous climber! I need to find a place for this guy quick!
Cosmos - Easy to grow annual and makes a nice filler.
Mallow (hollyhock) - Holy smokes! I came home and this thing is 3x as tall with beautiful blooms all over. I would definitely get more of these. I believe they are biennials.
Cactus. We plan on putting a patio below the deck. I'd like to move the cactus, but so far it's doing well here in the hot dry side of the house.
Lavender is blooming beautifully! Last year, it did not bloom at all and I almost chopped it down.
Coneflower - There is just one, but next year more will come up after this one spreads its seeds.
Cleome
I have a little zucchini already!
Zinnias - another annual I started just to use as a filler.
Edamame - Starting to see some flowers.
Striata Zucchini - They are monster huge! I have a lot of weeding to do.
Corn
Heirloom tomato plants doubled in size since I left. It seems the larger the tomato, the shorter the plant.
Rose
English cucumber

ok...so 1st of all...HAPPY GRADUATION!! (i think....i'm pretty sure you graduated from something recently...or maybe a few years ago...anyway, hope it was great)
2ndly - mad props to you all for growing corn ;)
lastly - does cosmos eventually get a small flower at the tip, either yellow or white? We have a mystery plant in our garden and last year I may have cut it up thinking it was rosemary and put it on our porkchops by mistake...second question...is cosmos poisonous?
