Late Summer Containers

Container gardens are an easy way to give your garden a pick-me-up in late summer.  Because we are nearing the end of the Summer growing season it's a good idea to think ahead to autumn as you decide what to plant.  In this week's Journal I'll show you photos that illustrate tips for creating beautiful displays that will easily transition from summer to fall.
