To my family, Team Austome: Jim, Zach, and Alyssa.
Love you forever, love you for always.Summer vignette from the back
gardens at Hiddenhaven.
‘Gateway’ Joe Pye weed
(Eutrochium maculatum
‘Gateway’) and ‘Herbstonne’
coneflower (Rudbeckia nitida
‘Herbstonne’) were guinea pigs
to test pre-emptive pruning
(pruning prior to flowering) for
height reduction and reduced
need for staking.
