Martha Washington Geraniums are blooming non-stop.
Roses are saved from deer thanks to Liquid Fence.
Fuchsia Double Otto was moved from big pots to the soil. So far, it's doing just fine.
First Chrysanthemums:
Hybiscus didn't like our acidic soil, so I planted it in the container with some lime added:
Liatris:
The new plant in my garden, Toad Lily. I need to watch it closely. It looks happy so far, but I already moved several other plants from here. They get crowded by arborvitae roots.
Fuchsia in the hanging basket overwintered on the tree branch and is blooming profusely.
I hope your August gardens are full of blooms too.
