First the obligatory pretty pictures 馃槈 I found a flower in my beds I haven't posted. This is a cosmo.
My wife had some old cosmos seeds from a neighbor so she tossed them into some open space in one of our beds. And now we have a nice unexpected splash of color.
A couple more pretty pictures. My golden spice pears are ripening. Last year they mysteriously disappeared. My money is on a squirrel 馃槧
This is a pretty apple on a sad tree. My Winecrisp tree always manages a few apples but struggles with Cedar Apple Rust. You can see a little of the brown splotches on the leaves.
I shared some photos of my new flower beds that everyone seemed to like so I took a few more while we were planting the bed. We started with some salvia.
All the plants for these new beds came from beds in front of my house I am cleaning up.
Blackeyed susans are easy to move and will spread once they get established.
Here's the second bed. We planted them both the same with the salvia and blackeyed susans.
Then of course we watered them in. I read online that this is actually a pretty good time to move perennials. We were moving them no matter what but its always good to check 馃槅 its ideal to wait until they are dormant but once it cools down leading into fall you can move them and they will have some time to establish roots.
