It's been a bit since our last posting, yes that's my bad. All my fault. I won't even take up your time with my verbal self abuse. How about we get back on the posting wagon with a follow up to an earlier post.
At the end of June we (and by "we" I mean "me", Alycia didn't do more than supervise) planted a bunch of New Plants in the Garden (that we ordered from BloomingBulb.com). The Summer Sun Heliopsis, Caradonna Salvia, and Paprika Yarrow have all done fantastically and bloomed profusely despite only having a few months to establish. The Zing Rose Maiden Pink Dianthus has done OK, most have lived and even partially bloomed.

The Arizona Sun Gaillardia? Not so good, I think only a few survived. Perhaps they'll return in Spring, but if not they're still guaranteed and I can get get replacements sent.
I promise that we'll have more stories in the near future. The first hints of Fall are in the air here in North Dakota, we even had a Frost Warning last night, and there shall be tales of apple cider, deaf dogs in sweaters, raking leaves, and pumpkins from the garden.

This seems like a twofer-- or maybe even a threefer. Always in favor of heirloom plants, and if they can also help with your garden *and* any end of civilization as we know it... Heirlooms and survivalism
