Twenty-seven. Twenty-seven whole weeks! I am amazed by how long the garden has lasted this year! What a bounty! What a blessing to be able to enjoy it this long.
I confess, I haven’t done much this week. I think I watered once, but we’ve had quite a bit of rain, and humid weather, so the soil in the pots is still pretty moist. I’ve stopped dead-heading, as I figured things would be dying soon and why cut the blooms when the plants won’t have a chance to make more anyway? So I’m letting things die down now and just enjoying their last displays. The perennials I’ll be cutting back after we have a good frost, and the annuals I’ll be plucking out and tossing. I wish I could have a compost pile here.
Snapdragons again. Sorry to keep repeating them, but they’re the most prolific and showy right now. And, I love the colors. Pink, yellow, and white, hello!
The Chrysanthemums are starting to show off though! I was getting a bit concerned that they weren’t going to bloom much before frost but they seem to be coming around. Hopefully they’ll fill out in the next few days.
I was playing with my photo software again. Some of my shots turned out on the blurry side thanks to the breezy afternoon we’re having. I also figured out how to play with the settings on my camera so I was messing around with that, too. This first collage is all flowers.
This one is mostly the trees around here. They’re still an interesting mix, despite losing so many this Summer.
That’s my garden this week. Still growing! How about yours?
