Man, you...That dark-burgundy hollyhock is fabulous! Man, you are so lucky! And a watermelon to boot. Bravissima! I am totally with you on the garden this year. It has been soooo hard. In fact, I just did a post asking other gardeners for help in figuring out to do with my garden--then a consultant that is helping me market said I needed a blog post about the book first. ah well. so, okay, I'll do that and THEN I'll ask everybody for help. I was interested in Beth's comment about rabbit damage. We've NEVER had that before, but because our county has been removing coyotes, we have rabbits everywhere. In my garden, they ate all the baby dahlias and it took major work to get them tall enough so the rabbits couldn't get at them.

Today, your comment about spring vs. fall is really hitting me. I just discovered some major rabbit damage where I've never had it before. So, I'm plotting for additional protection next year.

My poor Pulmonarias are lying flat on the ground, I hope they can pull themselves together. It's just too hard to water 2 acres. Usually the plants do pretty well anyway but this year is pushing all their boundaries. I'm so surprised, that's not what I thought Tamarix flowers would look like, such a beautiful cascade of pink!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-52036173036676723882015-08-26T13:19:18.782-07:002015-08-26T13:19:18.782-07:00Love those lobelias!

Once I realized they needed more water, I haven't been without fresh strawberries one day since. Also, do you have other posts that show more of your paving with the different bricks?

The great burst of work is done, the garden bloomed its head off, and now I just want to watch it slowly turn to gold. Before then, however, I will put in one extra burst of tidying and planting bulbs. I do love the slanted golden light of September with rosy crabapples in the trees and purple asters lining the paths, but it is bittersweet. Wishing you a soft autumn ahead! :)Northern Beauty Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805215769692200647noreply@blogger.com
