Sad to see the end of the vegetable and flower gardens quickly approaching. Will be bringing in harvest and pots this weekend.
A couple of phlox still showing color:
and winter in the basement window.
No butterflies or hummingbirds or bees supping today.
A regular rudbeckia - brown-eyed susan, and a trilobe rudbeckia.
Oddly no yellow finches in the sunflowers or cone flowers today.
Blue jays are also strangely absent this year.
Johnny-jump-ups have self -seeded again. Happy.
A lot of activity from squirrels today; however, not collecting nuts. Strange.
Nasturiums
A perennial sunflower:
Due to dry summer, hydrangeas heads were smaller this year.
Miniature rose has been non-stop for many years:
A worker bee's work is never done. Collecting datura pollen at dusk.
This amaranth, which is shoulder high, was a hijacker when the johnny-jump-ups were given to me. Now have countless amaranths here and there.
Honeynut seeds were given to me. Will have 3 viable ones from one plant.
Autumn crocus in full bloom. Shared by my Gram many years ago.
Currant tomatoes!
Have been sharing and sharing and sharing.
Spaghetti squash abundant this year. Several climbed the fence.
I prefer topped with tuna/chicken, mushrooms, peas, olive oil and pepper,
calling it gluten-free tuna noodle casserole.
Not attacked by slugs this year, thankfully.
That's how my garden grows this mid September. What's blooming in your fall garden?
For the earth which drinketh in the rain
which falleth often upon it
and bringeth forth herbs fit for him
by whom it is tilled
receiveth blessings from God.
Hebrews 6:7
