Holding On

Late summer here means dahlias. We tucked the tubers in everywhere and have been blessed with a profusion of color.


They even are climbing through the fig trees!


Lime green zinnias are a soft, serene color, but powdery mildew is rearing its ugly head.





My mini purple cabbage border: why not?


Happy Friday!

  4. Simply beautiful! And I love your cabbage border!
    Unfortunately our whole garden including the dahlias suffer from the drought this year and lack of rain.

    Have a lovely weekend,
    Greetings, karin
