Fall Plantings 2019

Hmmm...I knew I had been gone a while but.....6 years!  Not sure where I got to!

Sooo......I'm adding to my garden this year and in keeping with the original purpose of this blog, I want to keep track of what's growing.

 A few years ago I was down on Cape Cod in the Fall and fell in love with the ornamental grasses that they had at the resort.  I spoke with the gardener who happened to be on site and she told me where to buy them and that at this time of year they were on sale!    I bought 2.

Miscanthus Gracillimus

The one directly in front of the house is about 4 or 5 years old now.  The line of grasses to the right was just planted.

This years additions the the garden are......
