Garden Ramblings August Issue

Just thought I would mention that the August issue of Garden Ramblings is now online. This blog has been neglected for several months because I started a new one Garden Supplies News on my main site. For anyone who comes across this by chance here's a flavor of what you will find in the current issue:

In this issue:

- Letter from the Editor
- Plant of the Month
- Pep Up Your Perennials
- Portable Perennial Garden
- Special Offers
- Useful Resources

Hi

Welcome to the August issue of Garden Ramblings your monthly window on what's going on in the world of gardening.

The "Plant of the Month" is the Calendula or Pot Marigold, a plant named in Roman times and still a firm favorite today.

There are two articles on perennials this month. The first is a general overview with some ideas on how to provide extra color at this late summer season. The second is by guest author Doug Green on his Portable Perennial Garden.

In the Special Offers section this month there are three Daylily offers plus a pre-season bulb offer and another Summer Sale.

The Useful Resources section caused me problems this month and you will have to read on to find out why. Read more..
