The rockwall garden has never looked so colorful as now - when it is dying. Wouldn't it look neat if I had a whole bunch of big orange pumpkins strewn throughout?
Just a pretty pic of asters and a maple tree beginning to color.
You're absolutely right...everything in your yard is so beautiful and colorful right now. It's a shame we have to have winter coming soon. And your freshly baked bread looks so delicious too. I baked some Banana Bread this weekend and made a pot of chili, but today it's almost 80º.
Banana Bread sounds good. I was thinking of that earlier in the week,but had no bananas. I made chili the weekend before last and we ate it all week long. I do love a good pot of chili in cool weather.
Didn't cut these back, Giddy. In fact these are some that I removed from the actual gardens and just stuck in the woods. They get no care at all. I am going to remove even more and stick them back here to grow wild.
Sue, I never heard of liquid amber trees. Love the name, though and will have to google it.
It's that time of the year, Karen! Are you getting color in your area?
Your rockwall garden is so pretty pumpkins would look very nice in it too, but the prices they have on them it could get a little pricey (unless you grow your own)Pat
I imagine so, Pat. I don't even know what they sell for these days...have not bought one in last 10 years. They would look nice, but you're right, too costly and too much work cleaning them up after Halloween.
I always find it amazing how some plants look just as good when they're almost done for the season. Your grass certainly does look healthy too...we've had quite a bit of rain lately too so ours is still holding on also:-) Soon enough it will be covered with snow...ugh! I was at the grocery store today and noticed they had pumpkins for sale...$3.99 to $4.99...getting more expensive every year!!
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

I am using my dining room table to baste this big one -- it's about 105 x
105 inches (king size).
It's been a while since I've finished one this big.

ReplyDeleteI love that top picture. There really is a lot of colour in it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was just wondering when I would start seeing pictures of autumn leaves on people's garden blogs. I think yours is the first I've seen. ;-)
Your asters are so pretty! Our trees are having just the tiniest hint of color. We have liquid amber trees, do you know those?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color everywhere! Did you cut back your asters during the spring and summer? They look so nice and bushy.
ReplyDeleteDidn't cut these back, Giddy. In fact these are some that I removed from the actual gardens and just stuck in the woods. They get no care at all. I am going to remove even more and stick them back here to grow wild.
ReplyDeleteSue, I never heard of liquid amber trees. Love the name, though and will have to google it.

A good combination.
ReplyDeleteAnd the photo above: I do not know what it is!

ReplyDeletePea,
ReplyDeleteYou really should not be swearing while visiting my blog! I am talking about the "s" word, of course. LOL.
