Read MoreIt is October 15. A little late for my fall window boxes and urns, but that's ok.

And Sweet Potato Vine is a Betsy Winner for the 7th year in a row...it goes straight from summer right into fall. Love it! Oh, and I've found one really great looking weed, too. I just can't figure out what it is...a project for another day.)
