Early Fall is the New Spring

Early Fall is the New Spring.

After three months of the hottest, driest days I've ever experienced as a gardener, we finally had some good rains a few weeks ago and everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Now as August skitters to a close in a few days, we can see that the rain has brought new life to the garden.

Dianthus is blooming, though not quite as fully as in the first Spring
