This week, one new Russian Sage was planted on a slight slope. I have been inspired by all the Russian Sage that I have seen in my Drive By Garden Tours. After some pulling up of Trumpet Vine and assorted weeds, many Hosta are now visible, and finally starting to thrive. Also newly planted for a shot of colour – Autumn Joy Sedum.

The long towers of Hollyhock flowers were removed a few weeks ago allowing more demure blooms to take over at the lower levels. The Shasta Daisy flowers enjoy laying down.

Coreopsis has been blooming all season, while Lavender is finally showing a little colour.

This second Lavender has still not bloomed, but the foliage and scent are lovely.


It’s cool outside this morning and the leaves are falling. Enjoy your day.
