A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about fall spinach. Well if you have any seed left, here is a idea for you. In fact, it might be an idea even if you have to buy some seed.
As you read this article, somewhere in North America pansies are blooming prolifically in a garden, much to the enjoyment of those observing them.
This time of the year, tomatoes, pears, apples and cantaloupe are being harvested pretty regularly, and no matter how hard a person tries, those pesky fruit flies seem to abound around the ripe fruit.
It's time to start some marigolds for the garden. Up until recently, I was more of a vegetable grower than a flower grower, but the last few years, I have been getting more interested in growing flowers. I can remember seeing marigolds planted throughout my grandmother's and aunt's gardens. Although my dad always said, "if you can't eat it, why plant it," I do find space for marigolds, as well as some other flowers, in the rows among other plants to help attract pollinators. With the diminishing bee population, I think they need all the help we can give them.
A couple of years ago, I decided to put a cut flower row in the garden. Well, I've tried to put a row or a patch in most years since, along with the vegetables of course.
