Playing Favorites:
Dee’s greenhouse is finished! Of course that would be her favorite this week. For me it’s the combination of Verbena bonariensis and Signet marigolds around my mailbox.
Question of the Week:
Where did you go, Dee, and what did you see?
Insect of the Week:
Junk bugs info from University of Arkansas.
Flowers:
Would a theme garden help you out as you decide what to plant in your garden? It might. Also, check out Theme Gardens by Barbara Damrosch. (Amazon)
Vegetables:
It’s fall, so time to assess what went well and what didn’t go well in your vegetable garden this season. What will you change for next year? Tell us about it in the comments.
On the Bookshelf:
We were delighted to get review copies of Beatrix Potter’s Botanical: The Art of Flowers and Fungiby Marta McDowell ( Bookshop, Amazon), which is coming out October 13th.
We also think you might enjoy Marta’s other book from 2013: Beatrix Potter’s Gardening Life: The Plants and Places That Inspired the Classic Children’s Tales (Amazon, Bookshop)
The video Dee talked about is this one: Beatrix Potter video Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit.
