Garden update




September is a really good month in the garden....lots of blooming and harvesting going on. As a lover of all things floral, here are 2 of my favorite things in the garden right now. The "Don Juan" climbing rose is not quite a year old, and look how tall and lovely it is. The roses last a long time, and they smell lovely.

The dahlias are a little weird this year, as they have done this odd thing where they dip into a deep V shape, rather than growing straight up. I also got more foliage than flowers. I have no idea why, and I'm not fussing too much because look at the awesome flowers I'm getting! See how the flower is so close to the ground? I've got ground-cover dahlias this year.
