Summer Plants

Here is my beautiful pot planted with solenostemon- COLEUS!

Click here to find out more about this exotic plant from Africa.

They can really grow anywhere in the USA.

I love to find the vintage varieties, but the standard home depot etc. usually don't carry them.

Check your catalogs and local nurseries.

PS...I do have a "black" potato vine lower right coroner.

My Secret Garden

It looks and feels like summer has arrived.

At this time in the season of gardening, you just kick back, stroll amongst the flowers and enjoy your hard work of planting and weeding.
