EOMV: September 2011

Does it count as a blog post if you compose it in your head?
Does it count as an End of the Month View if you are four days late?
Does it count as one snack if you eat a handful of Brach's pumpkins and then sneak a few more?

My garden in early October is winding down. 


I've been moving things here and there like I always do in early fall. This week I'll need to take my yearly video tour of the garden - it is invaluable in the spring when I can't remember where I moved anything!



My good old autumn standbys - maiden grass and mums - are happily blooming their hearts out.


A late blooming rose soaks in the last of the afternoon's sunshine....


...while another ones hides its face behind dwindling gaura. (You should have seen me all twisted up trying to get a photo of this one!)


And these ugly buggers keep jumping out of every which corner, interrupting my concentrated silence! Nothing like getting a kickstart to my heart rate out in the garden. 


Time to start seed saving for next year! 

How is your garden growing in early fall?

  1. Mine's winding down, too, Hanni. Soon we'll be raking leaves. Argh. But it is awfully pretty outside!

  2. Pretty images, but those hoppers are bad this years. Way too many of them.
