My the front bed looks a little sad. I think I need to remove the Guara (front and center), the old Parsley plant (on the front-left), and the dead Coreopsis plants (in the back). As I said - everything just generally needs a haircut.
It's that time of year. Get it a haircut, and as the heat starts to break well have what seems like a second spring, things will grow and look pretty good until winter hits. Figuring out the seasons inn Texas is a bit of a pain, isn't it?
I have gaura which is looking so horrible I am thinking of pulling it out It's all wiry stems with no flowers. I am pulling out buckets full of material every day. It's that time of year.
It's hard finding time for cleanup since it's still so hot. I lost control of some large beds when I went on vacation in June and I never gained it back. I did get into some smaller beds recently for some cleanup. Just removing the dead stuff made a huge difference.

Wow, you've added a lot of beds and plants since the last time I saw your place. Your a machine.
