Late Summer Ugly Gardens
I have several gardens around my home. They include several varieties
of periennials. My problem is that in the late summer and early fall they get really ugly looking. The sedums start to to spread open, the hostas look all brown, and everything else looks over-sized and crowded for the rest of the garden. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can make my garden look better this time of year? |

Pansies and violas should be available soon. Get the little cheap flowerless
ones in a flat and watch them become big and gorgeous. zemedelec |

I also noticed that they priced them three times the price that they were in the spring. -- Bill R.

I had some 3 year old seeds and I weeded out the sterile ones and gave the fertile ones a jumpstart by keeping them overnight in water (the sterile/hollow ones float) and I do believe they're coming up in the sunniest planters.
