No, not our V!

I'm talking about the Veronica in my garden. It grows very tall, flowers, and then looks like hell. It doesn't bloom again if you trim it back, like flax or catmint. I might take it out next year. At least the yarrow flowers continue to look decent after they have faded...

In the meantime, my Spirea is out of control, my Mojave sage is blooming for the first time (it's been in the ground for 2 years...), I have oodles of itty bitty tomatoes and peppers on some very robust plants, my oregano is about 3 feet tall (!!), and my sunflowers (all volunteer from the bird feeder) are about 7 feet tall. Oh, and I have the cutest little coneflowers (they look like little sombreros).



How's your garden? Anyone harvested any tomatoes or peppers yet?
