Autumn is such a lovely time of year! Mike and I seriously look forward to it. We even chose to get married in the Fall so we could honeymoon in Door County during the color change.
And we like mums. Not like we like Dahlias, but they are a nice seasonal plant. We even planted some that were plucked from a Door County garden in the Fall hoping that they would come back in the Spring. We had some success with those. We had very little success with buying mums from the store in Fall and having them return. That just doesn’t happen for me in our zone 5. If you know some secret , I’m listening.
Mine, of course, look especially nice because Kevin took the pictures.
Not everyone agrees that mums are a good thing. Here’s a fun article that Regine sent me with a different point of view.
