Carolyn, I do spray with insecticide, I like Concern multi purpose and now that I have canes again I will use a fungicide as well. I tried Green Cure this year and really liked it. Now I just need to use it more consistently.
DB, these are in order, hopefully I understood which plants you were referring to: Josephine, Coral Sea, Ginny and Kristy.
Yes, Amaranthus "Opoped" is what the seed packet said (in the photo with the dahlia) It was supposed to be all red but I like the other with it as well. Still, I think it should be called "Bed Head" because it looks kind of messy. My favorite Amaranthus is below, "Dreadlocks". All so easy from seed.
I will email you tomorrow. Family coming for dinner later so time to be domestic.
