ONE Reason . . .

The warm, rich color of mums . . .

ONE reason why Fall is my MOST favorite season!

 

 

Red Rooster Grass stayed but geraniums

replaced with mums!  LOVE this combo!

 

 

 

No words needed!

 

For many years, I planted marigolds in this spot

because they are heat and drought tolerant . . . BUT

they need to be deadheaded  :-(

Then, for several years, I planted vincas . . .

heat and drought tolerant and they deadhead themselves  :-)

I purchased these mums from Lowe's the fall of 2011 . . .

tiny plants in 4" pots, 88 cents each . . .

but look at them now! 

(P.S.  Do you see my gardening buddy?)

 



 

Mums . . . new this year from Lowe's ($2.48 each)

in my half-whisky barrel with solar bug zapper!
