To all those that welcome the cooler and slower months — this is my annual announcement that we have finally made it to September! Truly my favorite time of year, I can’t wait for the fall colors and temperatures to come around. I’ve already observed so many trees in the region changing from deep greens to orange and red shades, especially along roadsides and different hiking trails.
This summer was my first time planting a small garden at our home. I was so excited to get started in April, I went to the store and bought about a dozen different seeds, everything from annuals and perennials, to vegetables and herbs. Just this past weekend, my mammoth sunflowers I planted with seeds that I bought from Plant Masters fully bloomed, opening into a giant but glorious yellow flower head that might as well imitate the sun.
I also filled the garden with some things that I bought from local plant nurseries, like our marigolds, petunias, rosemary, snapdragons, and dahlias, just to name a few. They all started in little containers and have since fully bloomed and expanded into different parts of the garden.
