i dont know if they're perennials here or not. i would like them to be! it says they are for sure in USDA zones 8-11. but i'm in zone 4. it says they reseed themselves, but would the seeds survive a minnesota winter? i dont know. so it may well be only an annual up here.

the garden in front is coming along. the new daylilies all seem to be surviving.

the lamppost ring is nothing but dill that wont stop reseeding itself. and despite being seeded with at least 24 sunflower seeds, none of them made it. the bunnies chewed them all down. in this picture there are 3 seedlings, towards the right. but the bunnies got those too.
