Plant of the Week: Passion Vine

Passion Vine

Tips of the Week

  • Plant perennial mums for fall color. If given some protection from afternoon sun, they are pretty drought-tolerant.
  • Start planting wildflower seeds, including the maroon bluebonnet developed by Texas A&M University!
  • Plant spring and fall perennials.
  • Plant winter vegetable seeds and transplants.
  • If we get a blast of hot weather (as we will), you may want to protect with shade cloth.
  • In a few weeks, get your rowcover ready in case we get a surprise dip to the 40s.
  • Plant herbs, including lemon balm, cilantro, rosemary, dill, chervil, fennel, parsley and sage.
