		<description><![CDATA[For several years now my daylilies have looked terrible. It&#8217;s the leaves &#8212; they get streak, a fungus disease, which causes the foliage to start to die back even as the plants begin to bloom. I&#8217;m not big on fighting disease in the garden. I have too much on my plate to fuss about individual [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a sampling of what&#8217;s in bloom in mid-August for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. The garden is ablaze with late-season perennials in flower alongside a variety of ornamental grasses. It&#8217;s that late summer, almost autumnal garden look, which I love best because it suits the prairie-style openness and size of our property so well. As [...]]]></description>

Last month we enjoyed (at least I did) more than 130 mm of rain (over 5 inches), which is 50% more than we normally get in mid-summer. The upshot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was out this morning with the camera, it struck me that the shrub border was looking positively autumnal. With the hydrangeas in bloom and a few fallen leaves from the nearby weeping willow, this picture looks just a bit fall-like, doesn&#8217;t it? I know that this is not welcome news to most people, [...]]]></description>

(If you&#8217;re up for a trip to Buffalo, this event is held annually on the last weekend in July. The 2010 edition is Saturday and Sunday, July 24 and 25th from [...]]]></description>

Upon coming home, we had to get the garden ready for two back-to-back bus tours. So here &#8212; better late than never &#8212; is my contribution to Garden Bloggers Bloom Day.

It begins blooming in mid-June and carries on into early July. The pale echinacea begins to flower about a month before the common purple coneflower, Echinacea purpurea. It grows [...]]]></description>
