Here, that does not mean that it is timer for the garden to die. It means it is time for it to be reborn after the heat of summer has dried it out and done its darndest to beat it down and kill it. In the Fall the plants that have defeated summer turn pretty and green again and start to bloom. Fences are covered in Morning Glories and Moonflowers. Mums are blooming.
Roses give it another try.
The temperature is in the mid 80s which feels wonderful after the high 90s of summer. It is my second most favorite time of year. Each has its on page which contains photographs I have taken and lots of good reference material about the plant. Just click on any of the plant names that are underlined for the page dedicated to that particular plant. A few plant pages are not finished and ready to see, but will be up soon.
