The Tuesday View September 27

Since a frost was predicted for Sunday night, we covered a few things, my spouse made a support to hold a tarp to cover the largest zinnia and dahlia patch (see D. ‘Voodoo’ below), and I picked nearly every tender flower in … Continue reading

The Tuesday View September 20

Fall color is beginning to creep into the trees and ferns behind the garden, a process that helps me adjust to the inevitable. The biggest changes from last week are the sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) have been decapitated by a hungry … Continue reading

The Tuesday View September 13

I’m a bit late on posting the Tuesday View, but though the photo was taken early Tuesday morning, time got away from me until today. Better late than never, I hope. Even though I think not much has changed, I … Continue reading

At the center, the blue globe thistle (Echinops ritro) has been chopped down, the orange and red daylilies are gone, the lemon yellow daylilies (Hemerocallis ‘Hyperion’) are waning, and the spires of … Continue reading

The Tuesday View July 26

What a difference a week makes (compare to last week’s photo below). This week’s view shines with the mid-to-late summer exuberance for which this garden was planned (I have other beds, like the shade or spring/fall gardens, that show better at other seasons). … Continue reading
