Many give up on their gardens come August, thinking that it is too hot and too dry for anything to be looking good this time of year.  How much they miss, so many different and unusual plants begin their prime blooming season.  Sedums are the most commonly used and rightfully so. They offer interest for an extremely long time even way before they come into bloom due to their flower heads forming so early in the summer.  Another wonderful thing about them is that there is a ton of varieties varying in foliage and flower color.

That being said there are tons of other plants that are just coming into there prime. Blooming plants like Turtlehead (Chelone) which blooms interesting bright pink  flowers on strong stems. They are excellent companion plants with Veronica, Coral Bells (Heuchera), and Ostrich Ferns.  Another one of our favorites is a highly under used perennial, Toad Lily (Tricyrtis). It has small orchid like flowers cover the narrow leafed plant abundantly.  It looks amazing planted in large groupings along with Creeping Jenny, Astilbe, and Anemone.  Plant that and all your neighbors will be asking you what it is and where you got it come late August when their yards are tired and boring.

Remember to come in and walk around to see what is blooming in all seasons that way your yard will have interest all year long.

 People are very particular where their peaches are grown. If they are not grown in or around the Chambersburg area, then it seems they are not even worth a taste test. We are happy to say that they have arrived and they are delicious. They are juicy and ready for the eating! Sometimes on a hot day a peach is the best snack, its juicy sweetness seems to hit the spot.

The perfect desert for a summer meal is peaches on the grill with vanilla ice cream and cinnamon. The fire gives them a smoky flavor that goes wonderfully with the sweetness. It’s a must try.  If you have any good or unusual recipes for peaches let us know and we can post them on our Facebook page.
