Distant Drums holding strong after the light frost. In late October I start cutting back on watering the roses. These past few weeks have been dry so I’ve watered them a little more than usual.
If you notice in the video the front row is taller than the row next to it. They were planted 4 or 5 weeks apart. It goes to show you how bare root planting does best when started early.
All of these are first year. They did pretty well!

Cosmos take 75-90 days to bloom from seed. If you set a reminder on your calendar to sow some seeds around July 1st then you will have plenty to cut from in late September.
Choose from Rubenza and a Double Click Mix to get a nice variety.

I can’t think of another flower that gives back so much at the end of the season. The numbers are in a we finally reached our goal. Even when a storm came through at the end of August and snapped most of the stems down. We were still able to grow enough tubers to finally fill all of our growing space for next season!

Giving just a little extra care to the dahlias this year really paid off. We added 50% shade cloth during the hottest days of summer. Our dahlias receive zero shade during the day and many are grown in raised beds on a gravel driveway. The temps around the beds are often around 100 degrees from the gravel reflection. You can feel it!
During that time I pinched most of the buds before they could develop. The plants continued to grow tall and strong. Then, they were ready for full sun list in time to bloom in September.
Do you have any tricks for growing in the heat?
