I know it's been three months since my last post.
The gardens were more than a little depressing from the middle of July or so until mid-September, while we experienced an especially cold, foggy and windy summer. It was like living a block off the Pacific Ocean, an area known in San Francisco for its brisk, foggy summers.
Then, starting in the second half of September, we suddenly had heat wave after heat wave, which brought very sunny days to our hill.
As I'd hoped would happen, the cosmos I planted in May or so to replace the cabbage poppies in the front garden suddenly grew three feet and went into bloom.
I think they will grow even taller and put on a great show all the way through New Year's Day.
