Raker Trial Gardens

The best of the best, the newest of the new, trialed & true. We put these plants through the ringer & share our results, our activities, and more.

Day two of the Mum trials. If Mums don't make you think of Fall, what does?

@GMmagEditor We had a great time, as well! Thanks for stopping by, and we hope to see y'all next year.

According to #farmersalmanac, Sept and Oct will be cooler/rainier than normal...sigh, so when it's gray and cold, it rains.

[Raker Trial Gardens @RakerTrials]

A chilly morning hinting at fall...We wonder, though, with this early spring and crazy/hot/dry summer, what kind of autumn will it be??
