It's a time of year for cleaning out the garden, and there are only a few blooms left to be found. We leave some plants standing for the birds over winter, but there's still lots to clean up. Here are a few shots I noticed while our garden helper was digging!
There are still blooms on the Nasturtium; they seem to survive well into fall.
And then there are more Nasturtium, these ones bright orange.
This giant Jack-in-the-Beanstalk plant shot up at least 8 feet high, but it never did bloom. It's a Mexican Sunflower, like the orange ones we had out front, which were only 3-4 feet high.
Sorry about the delay in posting this week. It's been busy every single day this week, so we finally postponed the drive we thought of doing today. And by the way, Blogger won't co-operate with spacing quite often, as you can see!
You still have some nice colour in the garden, I enjoyed seeing these photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Still looking colorful. Like the red and green grass together.
ReplyDeleteNasturtiums are wonderful bloomers!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see there are still some beautiful flowers in your garden.
ReplyDeleteThere's lots to do in the fall clean up. however some things are still active and we hate to put them to bed.
ReplyDeleteYou've still got some attractive colour in the garden. My Nasturtiums flowered like crazy then just fizzled out and I'm not sure why, but by then they'd already served their purpose in attracting all the bugs away from other flowers.
ReplyDeleteWhen I visit on my devices I can't comment at all to you. With most, I can at least comment anonymously, but you are blocked off completely. Your garden continues to be a great subject. Like you, I need to go touring soon.
ReplyDeleteYour blooms have the look of summer captured well. Hope you can get out and about this week, FG. There’s nothing like it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Red. It's hard to put some plants to bed. Especially the ones to be dug. Your garden is holding on with beautiful flowers still.
