Youv'e got a lot in bloom. That last one is a sage of some sort but I don't know what. I do the same thing, plant stuff and forget what it is. I should right it down, but then mysteries are good too.

Yes, garden mysteries are good. I think this was planted by an owner before me, so it's extra-mysterious. But I welcome volunteer plants in the garden, too (you know they've got an advantage if they've planted themselves).
