Youngandwithit's Front garden

Created on Thursday, 24 Apr 08

It’s a work in progress. The main photo was taken recently, before the gomphrena bloomed. Soon, the area will be bursting with red flowers. I have not pulled any of the seedlings up. I decided to let them bloom wherever the seeds fell last fall. There is also a teeny green agave growing. A neighbor and I traded agave babies.
