A Few More Shots from the Garden

The garden is almost finished being taken apart, shipped off to our local compost site, so there are few things left except leaves and some veggies themselves.  And among those, all the peppers and tomatoes are picked.  There are some interesting patterns to be found among the leaves though.

The big leaves of a tropical sort of plant that survives outside all summer, even though it didn't bloom this year.

 A few pole beans being left to dry.  Mrs, F.G. will dry these and use the beans themselves in soups.

The very thin leaves of Cosmos.

The patterned leaves of Zebra Grass.

The seed swirls of a Clematis.

Potatoes encountered while digging for the new raised bed.

The fuzzy leaves of Lamb's Ears.

The one flower in this post, Verbena leaning heavily toward the sun.
Sorry, the spacing is still hopeless!  I'll try to get it fixed.

  2. I really like the wind down. It was a heckuva summer!
    Don't worry about the spacing. Silly blogger.
    I usually put the cursor after the photo, then hit 'return' which puts a paragraph sign into the HTML.

  3. Lovely pics of the garden as summer comes to an end. Over in Vancouver Josh is finding the nights are a whole lot cooler than when he arrived, 6C one night lately. Winter boots and thicker jackets, do you have to put winter tyres on your big wagon?

  7. I too like the designs in that first picture. Great photos. I always admire your attention to detail in your flower beds. Nice to feel the cooler air but not looking forward to the colder air.
