But the ground is still warm and summer is returning this week so plants put in now will get a head start ready for next spring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574800003825292845.post-29217165965385430412011-09-25T22:30:00.258+01:002011-09-25T22:30:00.258+01:00Papaver, It is a cold (55F) rainy day.

As you know by now, it takes some work to get a "native" garden going. The three homes along the shore here ( some more than others) all have native grasses, flowers, etc. and I will say - it takes very little work once the initial work is done. Figure about three years before things look good. Every once in awhile I post some of the natives in the gardens here. Will be doing that later this week i the series of Autumn Colors. See you soon.
