(I swear your are really my dad. We have the exact same discussions that you and I have on many subjects and you would take his side on everything!)

The first picture features perennial Coreopsis of the hot pink and yellow variety. I love them because they bloom all summer long, especially when I deadhead, which is my favorite pastime next to looking at jewelry!
There are also some orangish Echinacea in the back left. I have some gorgeous yuccas that are blooming shortly. I will post them when they are in full glorious bloom!
I love this thread!

We went out on "poop patrol" (that's what mom and dad called it when we were little and we'd get manure for the garden) to the pastures and got a trailer of cow manure to mix in the dirt. I was out watering after we got everything planted and dad came over to "critique" how I was watering..(he's quite a critique-er lemme tell ya.. ) and he got on me about watering the corn. Uh hello, corn? We didn't plant corn dad. yeeaaaah well, I didn't think about the corn in the manure.
Oh and that's why we call it the poop bed.
