How is it doing? Let's take a look.
Turns out fertilizing Nasturtium promotes leaf growth not blooming. 
Nonetheless there are some gorgeous blooms making an appearance. I cannot believe I have never grown these before. I love them.
In the center of this crowded space (inside yellow oval above) I believe we have orange and chocolate Rudbeckia, but we will have to wait and see blooms to be 100% sure. There are loads of them and I am trying my best to gently jiggle the roots apart and transplant them in any empty spaces in the Sun Garden.
For example in the above small clump there are seven healthy plants; where they grow extremely close together I pinch the smaller one out so as to not disturb the roots of the other.
The Blanketflower running along the north border are going gangbusters.The yellow stand-out above is Coreopsis Roulette. A flower I thought was red with yellow stripes but apparently also comes in bright yellow with flecks of red. 
Coreopsis Roulette is seeded mainly throughout the northeast part of the garden and its wispy and airy foliage makes the blooms seem like they are floating. 
Among the volunteer plants I have found are Stonecrop, which I moved to the Alpine Garden, white Dianthus which now lives in the Moon Garden, various Sunflowers, Vinca and these unexpected Pink Petunias. Is someone playing a practical joke on me? I am specifically trying to rid my garden of pink.
I planted Crocosmia from corms and from plants - the plants are finishing up their blooming but some of those started 'from scratch' are just about to begin theirs.So how do I feel about the Sun Garden? I feel great. It continues to improve with age. Once the Coreopsis and Rudbeckia start flaunting their flowers it is going to be an absolute riot of joyous color.
