The Fall Garden

I planted my fall garden this week. Plenty of autumn blooms to look at -- rock rose, salvia (purple), chrysanthemums (one of each color from the garden center), dianthus, marigolds, zinnias, gazanias (I'd never heard of those before, but they are pretty), and snapdragons. It is a cacophony of colors. From hot pink to purple to orange, red, and yellow, I think I managed to represent the entire rainbow.

We'll just have to wait to see how my design skills held up. Right now, they are all small plants (cheaper that way) and they need to fill in. Once the mulch between them is covered with foliage, I think it will look great.
