Feel destitute to partake in !
Late August Garden TourGood Morning!What a gorgeous break of day for a walk in the garden . The mornings have been getting a flake parky , enough I need to toss on a flannel shirt to go out and feed the chickens or walk the garden . It really does feel like Fall is well on her way . My garden does not care , it is still lapping up the warm 80 + degree day and place on a show . handle to see??My roses are doing better now than this past Spring . fill with pleasurably scented blooms . The one shown above is Graham Thomas , my very first David Austin Rose purchase well over 15 years ago . properly now is the best it has bloomed all summertime . Behind it you could see our winter estrus provision , or part of it . We have a wood stove that provide the coziest heat all winter . really in the lot here you demand to start having a fire in early Fall . But that is not yet , lets not dwell on that too long and savour more of the garden .
You ca n’t go haywire withEchinacea for the late summertime garden , they just keep on . This is White Swan . Gaillardias too are a summer performer , they will keep this up until first freeze . These also reseed themselves readily , you may see the seed head on the right and just below the flower . You need gloves if you bid to collect them , they are prickly . I always get surprises . I do n’t till my garden , I just add compost and let the worms do the turning . My wages is many Tennessean pop up . Like this lobelia . This one came up in a jackpot but I have more voluntary plants than one I personally put into the ground around here . Did you like myOld Buckets & a Wine Barrel Post?Well here it is today . You nearly can not see either the buckets or the cask . The Cascading petunias and Sweet Potato vine are nearly taking over . By the path , that is a Sweet Potato vine that I over wintered in my mansion . It is about time to recall about bringing in somefavorites to winter . See that plantation owner on the rail above the petunias?I built thoseout of fence boards , they are holding up beautifully . It has this Tri - people of color sedum plant in it and I jazz it . It is spreading so wonderfully . That tinge of pink is just so odoriferous . Thevolunteer Morning Gloriesare everywhere . I even have some growing up thru the floorboards of myStudioporch . My garden has been full of surprises this twelvemonth . I had stake about my courgette not come up where I had set it and I blamed the wood creature that make nocturnal visit but lo and behold I was wrong . Here is what I got rather of courgette . Do you know what this is???It produce into this … And when picked and displayed … they calculate like this … Yep … trivial white Cucurbita pepo . They make out up from the ones I had tossed into the compost heap last winter after having them sit on my mesa as medallion . What a coup , a decoration item that recreates itself … .coooool!And next to them you see my Zucchetta / Trobolina squash . An fantabulous Italian courgette with a mild hint of artichoke flavor and the texture stays solid when fudge . The plant is a climber and will take over . Here it is climbing theobeliskwe built for it . We will get lots and lots of yummyzucchini noodlesfrom these . Well , that is not all of my garden , but I have rambled on enough . I bought some mummy in little pots yesterday . I plant them into larger pots and I am babying them in the greenhouse so they will shoot up dramatically and I will attempt to replete this wheelbarrow with Fall color soon . I will call for to keep the marauding deer away from it , they seem to really like Mums for breakfast . I observe the leaves of my neighbors Dogwood tree are already turn carmine … .sigh .. Fall is mouse in so I might as well put my mind to it . Maybe California will get some water this year….one can hope . Have a fabulous day !
