Cosmos

[jwg]

We always plant Sensation Cosmos in the same bed.

Today, the first one bloomed, about a month later than usual! There are some more buds but still not a lot. I have fertilized them twice recently with high-phosphorus fertilizer which is supposed to promote blooming. Our cherry tomatoes were very late too, but there are huge amounts now. The Bright Lights Cosmos in a nearby bed still have no buds.

Our annual dahlias produced one flower, and then went silent for several weeks. There's now another significant bud, and maybe a few more little ones. I assume this is because they're not getting enough sun.

W still don't know why all the purple alyssum died. This has never happened before.
