Deadheading

Normally, I am quite good about deadheading... honestly. Even in this year of mayhem for my garden, I have managed to keep most things deadheaded. Of course, the reward is more flowers and a longer blooming season. I missed shearing down this patch of pinks when the first flush was done. As you can see, I still got a second flush of flowers but look at all those seedheads. The reward for not deadheading is more plants next year. Funny thing is, I can see myself standing in this very spot next year asking myself where all the pinks came from!
