The August garden. It always looks a little wonky around here. A few things are passed their prime, but the zinnias and ornamental onions are just entering as the star of the show. Only another month before most of these annuals will come out and I’ll be trading the summer colors for fall reds and golds. Here’s a look at where we started and where we’re at now! We had a big storm come through in late July, and some plants have just never recovered. Such is life as a gardener!

This one turned out to be more purple than I had intended. The purple flowers seemed to enjoy their spot more than the other flowers I had in there that provided some depth of color.
