September

So this month has just flown by! I can't believe how much rain we have gotten and how it has effected my garden. I still have some of my Zinnas, though most have some powdery mildew. My Mexican Petunia (Ruellia) has doubled in size and is about 4 ft. wide and 3 ft. all tall! My Mealy Blue Sage has gotten pretty large, but can't manage to stand straight up and is sprawling along the ground. It seems quite happy that way. I have only one Pink Muhly grass which looks just amazing with its pink plumes. I will definitely be buying more for next year. The Rock Rose I transplanted loves its new shady spot. And with the cooler weather, is thriving. Of course my Yellow Bells are excelling. While I don't really like yellow, this wonderful drought-tolerant plant has quickly become my favorite. Drought or rain, this fast-growing shrub looks perfect all of the time. It has almost reached the top of our fence. Another plant, I will need to buy more of.

While I can go on and on about all of my plants, I will take a break here. The weather has dried up a little and the temperatures have cooled. We will see what the next stage this Texas garden has to offer me. For now, I have plenty of weeding to do!
