The late blooming flowers you mention above are “Montauk Daisies”. I planted some last fall on the recommendation of a master gardner I probed for some late color bloomers and these were among his suggestions. Mine are still blooming in southern Maine!

Fantastic Website, and always a fun read. Only discovered it late this summer, but it’s in my Favorites for keeps now.

Here in Saco, Maine we had our first killing freeze last night. It was an abysmal year for tomatoes; I planted bell peppers too early and they basically shut off the most of the summer. The zucchini only gave 3 all summer, and the melons underwhelmed. But bumper crops of strawberries & greenbeans helped salvage the year. And I’m excited to pull a carrot or two out of the ground now and then until the ground freezes.

Every time I learn something about gardening, I find how much I still don’t know. And I love it all. Already excited for next year, and looking forward to getting some great tips here.

Had great luck with the dahlias this year and they are still going strong. Thanks for the exposure on your weather segment last week, Tim! Lots of positive comments.

Mr Kelly: I’m a big fan of your weather wiles, and I also help out my friends at Barney’s Gas in Duxbury where the dalias run wild. My garden suffered from the tomato blight this year in a very big way, yet my cherry tomatos seemed to thrive and were completly unaffected. Indeed, I harvested far more than I could ever hope to eat. Same with my many varieties of peppers. I’m hoping for a better year next. Best wishes, John.
