My little seeds are growing up...

The bare patches of lawn are starting to fill in... Allysum is poking through the soil.
These "things" are sprouting up everywhere. I think it is the 4 o'clock mix as I have planted that everywhere and keep replanting it every time I start to get impatient with the speed things are moving along.
My cut flower mixes are coming up everywhere too. These are the biggest so far, but the new ones I planted around the peach tree and in the basket are coming up too. Question: What do you do with tulips once the flowers are gone? The leaves are nice, but I am getting bored of them. If I cut them, how short?
Again, some more seeds - either the 4 o'clock or nasturtium (sp?). Planted a bunch of both around but didn't keep track of.
Parsley coming in thick. I will wait a little longer to thin...
Flowers. Not sure which variety. Hope they end up looking like the seed packs as I kept those and would like to know what they are.
More "flowers". really wish I recorded them better. I had started when I was planting my veggies as I planted different kinds of carrots and cuke's and wanted to see how well each grew. My recording efforts waned as I planted the flowers and kept planting more everyday when I was wanting to see more progress in the growth department.
Not sure what this is. It is between two rows of carrots and looks too substantial to be a weed. Thinking it COULD be a watermelon that washed around. Carrot tops.
Zucchini.
Misc. flowers. Again, waiting for blooms to see what they are. The packs all say to thin the flowers at about 1-2", but I don't know what any of them are, so I don't know how much to thin what.
One row of lots of corn, one row of bird thinned corn. Grrr. I already replanted this row twice. Was going to get a "bird block" net, but that just seemed like too much effort for a few tiny rows of corn.
Cilantro. doing nicely :)
Perhaps a couple Basil. they haven't been coming up so I am hoping these are a couple.
TA-DA!
So, my cucumbers are NOT growing. I guess they don't like being beside the fence. Too shaded? The iris' don't have any blooms either. I will move them in the fall if I don't get any flowers again this year. The leaves look really healthy, just no flowers.
