last weekend we headed up to knoxville, TN for a little getaway. on the way out of town we stopped by the university botanical gardens. while the gardens were small and appeared to be a newer endeavor, we really enjoyed the water garden collection that they had. i loved the galvanized steel tubs that the water plants lived in- it is a great idea for a home garden.
well, summer and its heat finally seem to be coming to an end. my visions of loads of perenials kind of fell by the wayside as the sunflowers created too much shade and the pokeberries kept growing bigger and bigger until they shaded everything else out. oh well, i love the pokeberries. next year i’ll only let one or two get going, and i’ll keep the sunflowers on the sidelines. already i’m envisioning next years garden; more iris, more perenials, more sun. i’ll wait till the last of summers’ heat is gone though, before i start that project.
