So if you've done everything right, or mostly right, throughout the season, September should turn out to be one of the prettiest months of the garden (tied with June, when your annuals should be growing readily and your perennials just starting to bloom.)
Here are a yellow dahlia, orange butterfly weed and purple ageratum.
The crepe myrtle looks spectacular.
The dahlias should be peaking....sadly, last weekend we had a massive hail storm that fairly decimated my dahlias - just when they were starting to be pretty!! That's the thing about gardening - no matter what you do, some times things are truly out of your hands. But, there are still some buds left that weren't knocked off and hopefully there will still be time for blooms before we get the frost!
The front of the house this month - this is the time for morning glories, impatiens and marigolds. Tomorrow the portulaca and marigolds will be gone to make room for my favorite - pansies!!
Snapdragons LOVE the cooler weather as well.
More of the picotee blue morning glory. Some of the blooms are doubles, like this one.
Nothing beats a mass of heavenly blue morning glories this time of year though!
Here is a super-sized dahlia from my front bed.
Check out the size of this guy! One flower is the same size as a whole bouquet. Now that is some real bang for the buck!
