Time to Add A Touch of Fall Color At Your Home




My 2011 Garden Plan

It is that time of the year again, time to order my garden seeds. It is only a month from our last frost date and I am running a bit late. I ideally already like to have the seeds in hand by this date so that I can start some inside. When I start thinking about ordering seeds I need to think about what I planted last year. Each year I will plant an old favorite and a bit of a new variety to see how they stand up and some years I get a new favorite. I have to admit I tend to lean toward anything purple. So you will see a lot of purple plants in my selections but I promise that it isn’t just because they are pretty they are also the best performers I have found.
