Mums the Word

 In spite of being cut back around the Fourth of July,
 our hardy mums are leggy
 and ill-shaped.
Come to think of it, except for that trimming they've been quite neglected this year.
Guess I should be thankful they're blooming at all!
I DO so love the promise of autumn that they represent...

  2. Our mums always got leggy too, in spite of trims. Your Fall spot looks pretty!

    1. Thank you, Mari! It's consoling somehow, to know that other peoples' mums are "leggy", too...

  3. They're so pretty that I didn't notice the legginess!

    1. You are one of the KINDEST, most ENCOURAGING gardeners I know! (Actually, come to think of it, gardeners seem to be kind and encouraging by nature. Hmmmmmmm.)
