Today ’s GPOD comes from John Markowski .
“ My garden in Zone 6B New Jersey is dominate by aboriginal perennial and decorative grasses . This was originally borne out of necessity with poorly draining Henry Clay dirt and endless visit from the cervid and rabbit . I ’m thrilled that I was forced in that way .
The garden height in the free fall when thePanicum , Sorghastrum , andMiscanthusgrasses expose their blooms and eye - popping decline colour . aggregate them withAmsoniaand the seedheads ofMonarda , RudbeckiaandEchinaceaalong with the powerful autumn sunlight , and I ca n’t take enough photos starting in early dayspring and extending to the last bit of sun in the former afternoon . ”
