This video was taken September 7th. Some of my annuals and perennials did not preform to my expectations. Too bad.
I had really hoped that with an early spring this year my plants would have bloomed earlier for longer enjoyment. Not to be. Two my hydrangeas won't even bloom before the first frost hits later this month. Only my Limelight is blooming and that's because I planted it this year!
I lost more than 25 perennials this year from a rather warm 2009 November and not enough snow cover. Then came the early 2010 spring (no snow by early March), only to be followed by a very cold and wet May/June. This cold and wet weather really stunted the growth of many of my perennials. If it sounds like I'm whining...I am. On well...there is always next year!!
