The leaves haven't changed colors yet... but there is fall color in my garden!

Summer has quickly passed by and now the warm loving crops have left empty spaces in my vegetable garden. Those empty spaces are slowly being filled by Arugula, Kohlrabi, radishes, and swiss chard.

Despite the change in weather, my herbaceous garden still has beautiful color.  The herbaceous garden is showing more color then ever. The plants that are still performing are the Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii 'Goldsturm', Symphyotrichum novae-angliae 'Purple Dome', and Agastache 'Purple Haze'. All of these are very easy to grow plants and I can not wait to see how they do next year!

Two weeks ago, classes started for my junior class. All of us will be in class for six months, until we are in our next work rotations. We are taking Landscape Design, Floral Design, Business management, Greenhouse management, and Plant propagation. Also, I was able to take a continuing education class on edible plants and perennials. These classes have been much more exciting than our previous set of classes.

With all of this said, I hope everyone gets dirty in their gardens as long as the cold allows and gets a chance to do a little fall hibernation!
