In its own way, frost may be one of the most beautiful things to happen in your garden all year . . . Don’t miss it. Like all true beauty, it is fleeting. It will grace your garden for but a short while this morning. . . . For this moment, embrace frost as the beautiful gift that it is.

Deadheading is a neccessary evil. The results are worth the effort.
But the effort is hard to get up especially this summer with all the rain in upstae NY

It seems like it’s hard to make it out there this time of the season. I have been gardening most mornings, but staying inside in the evenings, even though it’s nice out in the evenings.
