maddyd said:So sorry. Thanks for pointing that out. I proved that I am really dumb in this area.

The 'secret' is leave them alone... Don't cut off the flowers! Those seeds attract songbirds!
The goldfinches are at my garden now... They smelled the poppies...
They also like zinnias and sunflowers, both of which I see coming up... And..
Lots of cosmos and ... Cleome and 4 o'clock!
Cleome and hawk moth
By the way...
Planting morning glories could be a huge mistake for a southern gardener...
They took over a huge section of my previous garden, and nothing I could do about it.
At the new house, I'm sticking with night blooming impomea alba... Which is far less aggressive... Although... I do see seedlings...
Also... Plant cherry tomatoes... They should return... Certainly come back for me...
I even have some tiny variegated hot peppers that return from dropped peppers.
