August is such a strange month in the garden: it’s got half a foot in Summer and half a foot in Autumn. Having had May, June and July where everything goes mad, there has been a definite slowing down.
I always think of August as the height of Summer, but I don’t actually think it is in the garden...
However the succulents which I planted back in June have been a success and show no signs of slowing down...
( this amazing succulent, which I didn’t grow myself, is for a friend’s 30th birthday present...)
...and the heuchera and geranium have also done well in the pot
My current favourite is the chocolate cosmos though...
with only one completely attacked by snails...
It's always so nice to see your plants bounce back from the verge of death. It's one of my favorite pastimes to nurse them back.
