Welcome to Beyond The Garden Gate. I primarily blog about my garden, although I also like to join several lovely ladies for tea time, and I do publish the occasional recipe or travel feature as well. Today it's the garden; to be precise, the autumn garden.
When I planted 'Blue Paradise' phlox last week, I thought that would be my final plant purchase of the season. However, I changed my mind.
I've been re-designing this area...it needs help, doesn't it?
I added ornamental cabbage, pansies, mums,
and a couple of pumpkins. It looks much better now - so colorful, and not so much empty space.
A solution that left me with brilliant color for fall, at least in one area of my garden.
Next, a peek at the rest of the garden:
Cleome
Asters
Mandevilla
Clematis 'Rebecca'
Blue Forget-me-nots
Pineapple Sage
Hydrangea 'Pinky Winky'
In the garden, color makes a powerful statement.
I want to say also that
Bernideen's fall garden was my inspiration for the change in my border garden.
