Some (triumphs) are like annuals and are for only one season. You have to check what are best for your area as others need a cold period to bloom.

During summer, plant flowers or some veggies in the raised beds, and pack the tables away over winter and spring. Would be cute during the fall with some hay layered on the tables and pumpkins scattered around. Just a different idea.Nora, Springfield, ILhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240512465859922807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-51385995620223229622015-09-03T15:47:15.038-05:002015-09-03T15:47:15.038-05:00Tulips are beautiful.

You could mix early, mid, and late species and get a few more weeks out of it.<br />Also, after they bloom and die back, you can plant annuals (zinnias, etc) or even fall mums.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-49634101647453783282015-09-03T10:20:50.168-05:002015-09-03T10:20:50.168-05:001st Man,
