Autumn is inching its way toward our region.
Temperatures grace the 60's in the earliest morning hours,
but our highs are still in the 80's.
What's a gardener to do?
Get out there as early as possible
and enjoy the beauty that God has provided us.

zinnias are just about through for the season

Fresh mulch was added to the front beds this weekend.
We apply only pine bark and pine straw in our planting beds.
Cypress mulch was previously used
because we liked the color,
as to why it's not the best choice.
Someone's found a way to beat the heat...
She approves of the newly laid groundcover.
Enjoy your Tuesday, y'all!
I would like to invite you to link up with us at the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week!

Thank you for the invite! See you soon!
DeleteVery nice. I don't think I know that particular Jasmine. I have heard the arguments on both sides of the cypress mulch, I still use it from time to time....
ReplyDeleteThere's another side to the argument? Do tell...
DeleteIt was good to see you up and about on your last post. Continued healing...
