A couple views of the back garden. Starting to feel like summer. 🌱

Looking down our north fence line. This is my “flame garden” dahlia border that is mostly calendula right now. The dahlias are coming! Looking out to the greenhouse in the corner of the backyard. My tiny native pollinator meadow is on the left with poppies and yarrow and goldenrod. On the right are cattle panel trellis with snap peas growing taller than me. Snapdragons and some other earlier flowers are blooming in orange and coral.

Almost as tall as me! The ones next to the trellis are in a whiskey barrel which raises them up some.

They overwintered and just came back really strong in our warm spring.

I think the tallest ones I have ever seen were under 10 inches. I had no idea they could grow like that. It's judt so wicked cool!

Oh, there are different varieties! Some are just 10-12 inches and some are really tall — I think the rocket ones are taller.

Mind blown. I just love the color on yours and the barrel makes them look so cute, now I am on a quest for Ginormous Snapdragons!

Oh you probably have time. Go for it! If not they may winter over for you too, in a mild climate.
