I have crazy, out of control, cosmos in my garden this year.
My veggies sure didn’t do as well as my flowers but I think I know why.
Not only did we have no rain, but I think all my beautiful blooms were getting all the sun and my veggies suffered.
I decided to give the cosmos a cutting right down to the ground.
I hated to put them all in the compost bin, so I brought them inside and we now have cosmos everywhere.
Next year I won’t seed the flowers so heavily. Don’t get me wrong I love all the blooms, but would also like to be rewarded with some veggies.
HI Dawn! Oh, I just love Cosmos and haven’t had any in such a long time. Beautiful snaps!
Be a sweetie,

Hi Dawn,
I miss your What I Wore Wednesday postings. Maybe when the weather cools down, you’ll resume doing so. I do enjoy seeing your wildflowers.
Hello from Oregon!
First of all I just love your blog, your house, your style, your flowers, just everything!
I also love Cosmos, they so remind me of my Mom. She always had them in her garden. I have never planted them…so maybe next year. You have encouraged me.
I’m looking forward to your fall postings.
Happy days,
Karen
These are beautiful. I am just crazy for these flowers.
I guess if you have to have something out of control in the garden, it’s nice if it is so pretty! Jean
Love the flowers! Ours didn’t do well this year 🙁
….and yes, I like your WIWW posts too!

I’m envious! I used to Cosmos in California – this year I planted some seeds here in NY and only one plant came up – still no bloom. Ah, well. Yours are beautiful!
Well if something overtakes your veggies let it be flowers rather than weeds. What a fresh arrangement with your metal bucket Dawn, so purposeful without being staged. Love the color.
They are beautiful!! I wish I could grow flowers like that!!
I would love to have crazy cosmos! Just wonderful. :o) Enjoy the weekend…hope all is well!
Wow! Your cosmos are beautiful!!!

Wow, these are just stunning. I’m checking to see if those will grow here. I am sorry your veggies didn’t do so well. I remember that you had big plans for doing lots of canning.
