Periwinkles were pulled or cut to the ground after frost blackened their top leaves. Nicotiana that was cut in early summer is starting to bloom again. Lavender lantana has taken much of the front side, but will die back some when hard freezes come along with salvia leucantha.
Bulbine, yellow on the north end and orange on the south end, is starting to bloom again. As I pulled periwinkles, I scratched out little areas and sprinkled viola, mixed corn and breadseed poppy, Iceland poppy and larkspur seeds -- all saved seed.
Crape myrtle leaves turned orange and are quickly shedding.

What IS This?
This is the story of a single island bed, one of several. The posts are in chronological order of the growth of the garden beginning with "The Long Rock Bed -- Its Story" so that you can follow the growth as you scroll down, starting with the pile of stones around which the bed is built.
These are the ramblings and plantings of a dotty woman who enjoys gardening for the thrill of seeing plants grow and blossoms open. Any resemblance to proper gardening and landscape techniques is purely coincidental.
