I didn't use to love coleus. I can't explain it, but I just didn't want them in my garden.
With dozens of beautiful new hybrids which appeared in recent years, it became difficult to resist having these vibrant plants. They made great additions to my containers this season. They could tolerate some sun, grew fast and were healthy.

The coleus in the pictures below was planted in small pots, so they are not as bushy as those in the upper pictures. I put them on the garden tables to decide what to do with them. Discard and add to a compost pile, or trim and take inside for the winter? What do you do with your coleus in the winter?
And, these are my new work boots. They were recommended by my friend who is a farmer. I hope they will serve me better than regular rubber boots.
I hope you'll have a warm and sunny week. This is what we have now here in the Pacific Northwest.
