Why stop gardening in August? At least that's the question asked in a press release for a new book called "Fallscaping."
I'll give you one good reason to stop gardening in August: STUPID RAIN!! I was fully drenched and had to do two wardrobe changes while finishing my garden path with hubby on Friday. Ugh.
Ok, I've got that rant out of my system. It's actually a beautiful day today (or at least it looks that way out the newsroom windows). But man, the month has been such a rainfest, hasn't it? And a windfest too... but I digress.
So this book is all about gardening in the fall. It comes with 10 garden plans for autumn-loving gardens. It even has a pretty landscape for gardens that get a lot of fall rain (like ours this year). The book recommends wet-loving plants in its "Wet and Wild" garden plan. Think Helianthus 'Lemon Queen,' Chelone lyonii 'Hot Lips' and Eupatorium dubium 'Little Joe.'
A very cool book. It comes from Storey Publishing and is available at many bookstores and amazon.com.
