Annuals - Plan ahead for 2009
Now is a great time to start planning your beds for the spring of 2009! By now you know what did and didn’t work this season and you can also see what other people have done and how it’s doing. I can take full credit for very few combinations of annuals and perennials - most have been found by trial and error on my part or on the part of a fellow gardener. 
So, make those notes now, take those pictures, and let yourself start dreaming about those colors, textures and combinations that are yet to be.
Pictured here is a glorious Morning Glory. A blue that true will make anyone stop and take notice. It’s like the sky dropped a little piece of itself and it landed on our trellis. These Morning Glory vines may be annuals but they are wonderfully vigorous and fast growing climbers that can make quick work of a trellis or an arbor. This year we planted them on the same trellis as our porcelain vine so that the trellis would fill in more quickly but also to extend the bloom season.
