A Nice Cold Front

When temperatures drop from 100 to 90 degrees, it almost feels like you should wear a coat to protect yourself from the artic air. While we don't have the 70-80 degree weather my brother and dad have today as they fly fish Idaho, we are enjoying the cooler weather. Yesterday I saw my first nice stand of spider lilies (Lycoris radiata) in Fort Worth and an impressive display of Zephyranthes candida at the Dallas Arboretum. There is much to do this week with orders continuing to ship out. If you have purchased oxblood or spider lilies, plant them now! The others you might be able to wait on for awhile. In just over a week, we have Ann Swan coming to Texas from London to draw/observe some of the first bulbs of the series. We will release the full story of Ann Swan and her first drawing with the airing of Central Texas Gardener on September 16th. In the mean time, here is a taste of what is to come. Be sure to listen to Sirius Satellite 112 on Martha Stewart Radio this Tuesday as we visit with Andrew Beckman on "Home Grown!"
