FARM BUREAU Drive-through dinner fundraiser is today By Judy Paul The long, hot sum- mer is over (which was my previous article), and lovely fall weather is upon us! The cooler days and cooler nights allow the roses to gather their strength for some lovely fall blooms. Seeing and smelling their fragrant blooms make me vow to take a bit better care of them next season. Hope- fully the water situation will be more positive next year as roses are thirsty and hungry plants. My Mexican Sage is blooming now, another lovely surprise for fall. They are such an easy care plant, and with di- vision you can get more. The Salvia family of plants is generally hardy and quite unique. The blooms and colors are very diverse. A new one I planted this spring is Mexicana Limelight. The buds are pushing growth now so flowers will be showy soon. I am excited to see the chartreuse and deep blue blooms which looked awesome in the catalog picture! Another fun surprise this summer was a Pine- apple Sage I planted. It grew very large and is now covered with lovely bright red blooms which the butterflies and black bumblebees are en- thralled with. I also love my Ruellia, Acanthaceae, especially in the fall. The perky purple blooms open during the day and close at night. They are quite invasive, but I planted mine by my back fence and they make a colorful backdrop. As the cooler weather and fall blooms brighten my days, I walk around the garden areas and think and plan for next year. I probably have men- tioned this in previous ar- ticles, but my philosophy is so many plants and so little time…therefore, I be- lieve in making changes when some plant doesn't quite work out how I had hoped. Next year I am go- ing to plant more Sal- via and Agastache. They work well in our climate and they attract bees, but- terflies, and humming- birds which is a prior- ity for me. Another article I will write more about Agastache as I enjoy them so much. If a plant doesn't work for you, try to get over your guilt, and just take it out!! You can try to find a new home for it with a friend, or simply feel that it has fulfilled its purpose. I planted my hybrid roses almost 16 years ago. I know roses are very long living. However, there are new varieties that are more disease resis- tant, more vibrant col- ors, and fragrances. So I am contemplating tak- ing out two rose plants and replacing them with a newer variety. One of the plants gets really taller than I like, and one strug- gles too much with fun- gus and the heat. I did re- place two this past spring and I'm pleased with that decision. Next spring will be the first real full bloom for them. So many things a gardener has to look for- ward too! Fall allows more lovely morning time to enjoy coffee on the deck and watch the birds which is another pastime of my husband and me. Just this week we saw the White- crowned Sparrows were back, enjoying our foun- tain with a big bath, and pecking around the ground. Perhaps our Yel- low Warbler has moved on as we haven't seen it for a few weeks. We have fed finches for several years, but had noticed a decrease in their number. We had always bought a large bag of Niger seed for them but weren't go- ing through it. Finally we thought perhaps it was old or tainted. After pur- chasing a new, smaller bag we now have bunches of cute and chirpy Lesser Finches all over the feed- ers much to our delight! Soon the Juncos should come back, as well as Pine Siskins and Yellow- Rumped Warblers. We put out our no melt peanut suet which many of the winter birds love. Well, I have rambled on enough for now. I hope I shared some little garden- ing snippets or pictures in your mind with you. En- joy your gardens, whether they be large or small. Plant some pretty fall pansies in a pot. Sit back and watch the birds and bees appreciate the envi- ronment you are sharing with them. Plan a change or two you might want to try for the next year. Gar- dening is so much fun.
