I didn't have a chance to do my fall garden clean-up before the white stuff made an appearance. I managed to get the statuary that doesn't stay outdoors inside... but i just drained the rain barrel today. oh well.

Golden August

I really need to get some plants that bloom in late August. Currently, the day lilies are in their final phase and the brown-eyed susans are in full bloom... but i have a lot of green spots that need some color. Any suggestions of August bloomers in a zone 5 garden?

Container Gardening

I have a multitude of containers with herbs and flowers in them. The planter right beside the kitchen has basil, parsley and thyme in it for instant additions to cooking.
The other planters have a variety of flowers. I have found that I gravitate to the color scheme... salmon, burgundy, red with touches of golden yellow, purple and blue.
