I will certainly get my order in early with Palatine- its a tough wait to order in fall and wait till April, but it should make winter a bit more tolerable. Jubilee is gorgeous! It would surely be on my order if they offered it!

We're seeing some milder temps and the nights are cool, but it's somewhat dry now. I'd become so unaccustomed to watering over the wet summer that everything got pretty crispy before it occurred to me to drag out the soaker hose. The Japanese beetles are dropping off now, so I'm getting a few nice blooms.

I'm loving the contrast of the hardy ageratum with BG

Golden Fairy Tale is a beast! I've never had a first year rose get this big, about 5 1/2' tall now. It has a wonky shape because it had gotten quite tall early on and was whipped over during a storm.
