End of Season Garden

With all that's going on, I am so far behind in my garden.  This is crunch time for spring blooms, wildflowers and perennials need to be seeded to get roots in place, pansies and violas go in, lettuce needs to be seeded, the list goes on and on.

Rose of Sharon still in bloom

Colorful leaves are starting to fall

These are perennial seedlings I started two months ago that also need to get in the ground, hollyhock, lupine, lanterns, chicory and foxglove.

Foxgloves are in and will be a beautiful spring display IF rodents, rabbits or dogs don't mess with them and that's a big IF!

And with Roman sticking his tongue out at me, I think he's letting me know that fresh dirt means foxgloves will be history soon.

Violas waiting to be planted

As for rescue, this is Rambo who we got out of a Georgia shelter, into boarding, and is hopefully on his way to his foster in NC after biting at the boarding facility.  A lot of frantic calls coming in this morning.

This is sweet little Elvis from Memphis, TN (yes, I named him Elivs, what else?)  He's so easy going that we wish all of our chows could be this nice.  He will be on his way to NY in a couple of weeks.

Elvis might not make it to NY, the foster's 13 year old daughter loves him.  I have not been on the ground working with dogs as much lately, it all seems to be on the phone and computer, but lives are being saved!
