Pam's English Cottage Garden. English-style Gardening in the Poconos. Thursday, July 30, 2015. I can't think of a better way to provide a dramatic splash of living color than with the simple beauty of colorful annuals! Bill's greenhouse when I visited in May. Some of the 100 plants started this year. Bill is never happier than when working in his greenhouse. Annuals are fun and flamboyant flowering and foliage plants that germinate, grow, flower, produce seed, and die - all within a single growing season.
