A summer in containers

I find it kinda funny though it's really quite sad that this time of year is when annuals look their best.

Here we are at the end of summer, and thoughts of fall are in our minds.

Some gardeners  have given up on summer annuals all together and can't wait to end the season by replacing the summer failures with Mum's

Mums, the last splash of color for the garden

This is the time of year when I find myself looking back as well as forward. A time to admire my hard work during the summer, what worked, and what didn't.

When summer containers still look good in the fall you know you did something right.
That is if you have not gotten frost yet

When you cringe a little at the thought of replacing or tossing out a plant,
you did good.

Here's a look at a summer container garden that has brought me much joy, it will be sad to say goodbye.

Keep in mind this is a show garden, and should look it's best at all times. A fall planting is in the works.

So we move on, this we like
