Front Flower Beds Planted and Ready

I have been meaning to upload a few pictures of my front flower bed for weeks now.  The annuals and perennials are already starting to fill in.  I thought it might be fun to document the growth progression of this flower bed throughout the summer.  In this first photo, most of this front section of the flower bed that borders the sidewalk is filled with annuals.  (With the exception of some English Daisies.)  Annuals seen here are:  Dahlberg Daisies, atleast 2 kinds of Zinnias, annual Salvia in red and lavender, Peppermint Vinca, purple Petunias, blue Lobelia, Osteospermum and a few Hens and Chicks.
This corner is filled more with perennials than annuals.  The perennials are set back with just a few annuals planted in front for constant summer color.  The perennials planted here are: Limerock Ruby Coreopsis, Butterfly Blue Pincushion Flower, Sea Pink Armeria, Yellow Coreopsis, Sedum, Phlox, Candytuft, and one more that I can't remember.  (We'll have to see what it is when the blooms appear.)  These perennials are off set with: a Red Geranium, Peppermint Vinca, Blue Lobelia, Petunias, and a few Snapdragons.
This is the other corner of the flower bed that contains mostly perennials.  Pictured here are:   a Russian Sage (yet to be planted), Pink Oriental Poppies (hopefully they will bloom next year), Shasta Daisies, Indian Blanket Flower, Salvia, Hollyhocks, Autumn Joy Sedum, and Yarrow.  The annuals in front of the perennials are more of the same seen in other photos, with the exception of the Dianthus planted by the Indian Blanket Flower and Russian Sage.

Look at how well my bushes are doing!  I am so glad that none of them suffered too badly from transplant shock.  This area of the flower bed is planted with annuals to help give us summer long color.  In this area, we have Pink double flowering Zinnias, Sweet William, Dahlberg Daisies, Blue Lobelia, White Geraniums, Yellow single petaled Zinnias, Sweet Potato Vine, Purple leaved Snapdragons and I've tucked a Lupine in the back by the faucet.  It will be fun to see how these plants fill in and bloom throughout the summer.  If I planned things as well as I hope, there should be something of interest all summer long and into the fall.  So far, things seem to be progressing well.  I am a bit worried about the annual Salvia and some of the Sweet William.  I think I have a bug that is enjoying them a little too much.  We'll have to see what we can to about that.
I realize this is not a picture of my front flower bed.  However, we did decide to get a small start on our vegetable garden area.  Jeremy built me this two tiered, raised garden bed for our veggies.  We let the boys pick out what we planted this year.  So, we have a pumpkin plant in the top tier,  and in the front they chose a cucumber, tomato and two pepper plants (one red, one green.)  It is always fun to watch things grow.  This small veggie bed makes me excited for the rest of the garden ideas we have for this side of the yard.  I'll have to post our complete plans for this side of the house.  It is our next big yard project.  Hopefully we can tackle it a bit at a time throughout the summer.
