The dog days of summer are upon us once again. The season of summer is closing in, and thoughts of the fall garden are creeping into our minds. Soon it will be time for mum's, pumpkins, and bulbs for planting
Funny how this time of year is when our gardens can look their best, or worst. Your either reveling in the seasons growth, or your ready to cut it all down because your garden has just gone to the dogs.
Blue saliva doesn't really show until late summer, here it's planted with a short Cleome
These window box put on a spectacular show this year, they looked good all season, but now is when they really start to show off
See what I mean about a garden gone to the dogs, this moss topiary golden lab was a new feature for the garden. Along with a new planting of boxwood and ornamental onions, hechurea, and grasses
The perennial garden looks a little tattered, and is in need of some late summer maintenance
The hosta fountain garden still looks fresh. The hosta's are almost ready to bloom
A look through the garden gate
Hibiscus along the drive
The days grow shorter and the evenings a little cooler, still time though to enjoy.
This may be the best the garden looks before it goes to the dogs
