No way are we going to ditch these thriving survivors now for hothouse fall mums. As far as we're concerned salmon is the new orange for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Never Give Up, Never Surrender
About mid-July, in an effort to make room for the Krazee Daze sale, the hardware store encouraged anyone making a purchase to cart away as many bedraggled greenhouse plants as they could for free. We brought home an assorted flat of annuals that were extra crispy from baking on an asphalt parking lot for two months. It just seemed like the right thing to do. Perhaps we were imagining it, but it seemed that these Americana Salmon geraniums cried with joy to have their little bound roots set free into new potting soil and to be given all the water they could drink, a bit of shade, and some green grass all around.

You may be a few blooms lighter (from out in the back) as yesterday the little Colorado gnomes arrived back to proudly present Gma Honeybee with a "boo"-kay. You may be missing a few not-yet-dried heirloom beans as well. Sorry.
