It's always sad when the garden begins to fade, but there is still beauty to be found. There are even new flowers blooming at this time of year. Garden work has shifted to harvest, which has been underway for some time, and we're enjoying our own tomatoes, finally!
These two 'cherry' tomatoes, a yellow and black form, are sweet and delicious.
There are some big tomatoes we're waiting for too. Last year we had a chipmunk that developed a taste for them and would go around taking one big bite out of every tomato, but Mrs. F.G.'s trap and relocate efforts seem to have paid off.
The Gloriosa Daisies have remained spectacular even though they're starting to fade.
The most prominent of the new flowers is the Fall Anemones, a beautiful soft pink.
Tucked in a back corner behind those Fall Anemones is a small patch of Brown-eyed Susans.
And the last of the new flowers is this beautiful small-flowered Clematis, our last clematis to bloom. At our last house a strand of this clematis caught an apple tree branch above it and we had a glorious overhead burst of small yellow flowers! Here it's growing up against the side of the shed.
The yellow Clematis is a new colour to me, beautiful against the green.Tomatoes, always so good to grow your own, a lot tastier, and so handy to pick when needed.
