I like coleus and grow some every year. This year I cut some stems and placed them in water before our first frost in the hopes they will grow roots so I can pot them inside. So far they are staying alive, but no roots as yet. My coleus never grow large enough to produce seeds--wish they did! Your begonias are so pretty!

Maybe too much nitrogen, but I've always used our compost on my planter and around all the flowers. Every year is a surprise in the garden. I'm surprised to hear you are going to have a freeze so soon. Our weather is supposed to cool off on Friday as we still have the ac on!

I've really no idea, but a little sad for they're such beauties. Thanks for the reminder about the mums. Our Farmers market was selling huge mums for $5 each, probably because they over purchased and because we're expecting 28° in Friday! Have a wonderful week Martha Ellen.

I must do that this year. I usually plant pansies around our mailbox when the zinnias are finished. They are still blooming though so I'll leave them there for a little longer.

Martha Ellen your garden is so lovely, I enjoy all the same varieties you have shared, I usually take cuttings from my coleus and root them in planters all through the winter, summer is still with us with extreme heat and humidity, so much so that my summer plants have decided to leave me, only my roses, and hydrangeas are blooming. How ever we did buy some pansies today and I am looking forward to planting them.<br />Thank you for visiting me and for your sweet comments.<br />Blessings,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-45752017754387431942018-10-08T16:04:40.322-04:002018-10-08T16:04:40.322-04:00Beautiful garden Martha Ellen!
