| Beebalm 'Jacob Cline', blue ceramic grouper looking on. |
Grouper has been "looking on" for over ten years now. He has seen plants come and seen plants go. In the Long Border, a plant really has to be on the top of its game to put on any sort of show. There is just too much competition from other plants seeking advantageous sunlight and nutrients. This year, this has also kept the weeds from over-running the garden.
I realize this year many of the plants in my garden are over ten years old. This is an established garden, with an experienced gardener. I have some bare patches this years, which I also know is unusual. And it is time to change it up, and make it an easier garden to care for.
