Gamal Sherif@YMItalking Beautiful. What’s your nearest city? I’ve found lots of purple iron weed, aster, salvia) showing up this late summer , and most of the reds (bee balm, echinacea) fading out. #philly #plantingzone
David Zappelli@lullaby @mastogarden @gardening It helps to share your #HardinessZone or #PlantingZone. I'm in Northern California 9b, or the South SF Bay Area, Santa Clara County.
I was serious about adding vegetable and fruits, and did alright in first years, but drought, intense summer heat, and keeping the soil full of nutrients is very challenging, and I struggled, especially last year. Very low yields, and they mostly went to the birds and critters looking for moisture and vegetation. Devastating.
