So the garden beds started to look tired about mid Aug.  The plants get over grown, the heat finally takes its toll on them.  So no more pictures are coming.  However, plans are underway for next year.

I have some really big pots that might get a coat of paint and be put out front, as well as more pots and ideas for mint.  I am hoping my mint survives the winter, in which case I will try and sell divides at a yard sale.  We will see how that goes.  With 21 different mints, I have plenty to sell.

This area looked horrible.  I tried to pave it over with stones, but the weeds took over anyway.  So I went to bed one night and though, I bet I could make it a raised bed with those stones.  By the next afternoon it was done.

Raised Bed

Here are the pictures from my wild flower garden from the end of July.  Thanks to my Step-Mom and my Dad this looks better than I could have hoped.
