Window Boxes

Boris, very nice!   Are you for hire?  LOL!!
One question if you may, tell me about the Russian Sage?  I just
planted a few in 2 separate areas this year.  Do I need to cut back on them
in the fall?  Do they tend to get out of control?  I am a little new at all this
gardening stuff and will appreciate your answer.  Thanks.

BP, I was told the Russian Sage (Perovskia) shouldn't be trimmed.   I don't have any but a neighbor does.  As a general rule I never prune or trim anything the 1st year.  Want 'em to fully recover from any transplant shock.

Wow, what kind of vines are those hanging?

OK ... gotta post some pics of Boris' most beautiful pad.
Each year he's come up with a different design for his boxes, and this year's is no letdown.
Still has the vines spilling over to the ground, with a nicely layered mix on top.
