Fall has arrived and change is underway. Hues of brown, gold and orange dominate the landscape, a scene that delights again and again. The days are getting shorter, the nights cooler, and frost appears on the horizon yet there are still flowers appearing in early fall. Cosmos, marigolds and zinnias are lighting up my garden’s landscape. These drought tolerant jewels have survived hot dry conditions in zone 4 and are living up to their reputation. As the last of these blooms fade it is time to sow root vegetables and salad greens, plant garlic and fall bulbs such as crocus, hyacinth, allium, tulips and daffodils. After all, change will come again and Spring will appear. Cheers
