Finally…..
This year everything has been moving at a slower pace than normal, the cold weather has been the most likely culprit. Usually by now, the tithonias are huge and covered in blooms. This year they’re just starting to show their color.
It’s not a huge deal, at least they are blooming, which means they’re providing much needed late season food for monarchs and hummingbirds as they migrate. This year I planted 20 tithonias in a large hedge across one side of the main vegetable garden in the back. Since they aren’t as large as normal, at least there are more than normal.
How’s the season been in your garden? Early, late, wet, dry?

After a ‘cooler’ and wet early summer, we shifted into a typical hot and very dry August. We’re finally transitioning back into a bit of rain, but we really need a couple of inches to get the trees happy again.
