No those are impatiens I put in today. The petunias are the dark purple at the top of the picture. I put those in back in April, they survived the freeze.
I also put in a few coleus, some dianthus, and periwinkles. I’m pretty much done planting, now just watch it grow.
I hope the guest dog, doesn’t have to cross a busy street to come visit. Sounds like he may be making this habit. But it is nice to have house sitters nearby.

Your garden looks very pretty, Becky. Still a little too early to plant here, although the weather has been gorgeous. Those flowers I bought last weekend, need to be hardened off a bit, before they are planted. There are on my back patio, where they get partial direct sun.
Everything has dried up here and I wish we would have waited on renting the BobCat. All the manure could have been spread and the dirt pile leveled without getting stuck. Oh well, you just never know.
Today, I am going to the grade school to have "Tea" with Alison. The school already had a "Muffins with Mom" and "Donuts with Dad" events. Should be fun.
He does... he has to cross the big road out front. So it isn't good... He sounds like he has the same triggers Homer does... Loud noises, gunfire, storms... and if they aren't home he digs out and runs away. I said we know just what that's like. Well, I told her if we see him, we'll bring him in and keep him safe.
Ah - then we have impatiens about the same age :~) We can post pics in a month and compare. I think my yard is good for impatiens, but I haven't had them here before. Do they do well in the heat you have in the summer?
