First leaves of Fall
Still some flowers like Leggy Petunias
The ground couldn't hold up the shepherd's hook and mums from last weekend's rain. Himself bought some weights, but hasn't attached them yet. The swamp maple losing its leaves.
Geraniums add a pop of color.
Giant squash flowers, but no squash
Lots of green tomatoes
Orange Marigolds
Another maple turning red
In the woods, ash tree leaves turning yellow
Cosmos
Cornflower
The pink sedum turned red
Still some little ears of corn
More color on the pumpkin
Faded hydrangea
How does your garden grow?
You have quite a few leaves down. I wonder what it will be in my yard when I get home. Of course those maples all fall early. You pumpkin should be all ready for Halloween-it's really getting orange. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWeather dudes said because of the drought conditions, the trees are stressed and losing leaves earlier
DeleteGreen tomatoes! I'm green with envy! (I might be persuaded to share my grandmother's award winning recipe for End of the Garden Relish....if you're into canning. It's AWESOMELY yummy and lasts for years!)
ReplyDeleteSure, I'd love to give it a go, but maybe a paired down version. I don't can. Is it possible to just freeze? I don't know what to do with the green tomatoes. One year, I did try Fried Green Tomatoes, but we weren't impressed.
DeleteI emailed you the recipe but I'm never sure which email to use so check both!
DeleteI had an Elder moment.
DeleteI love autumn colours, but there aren't many here, yet.
ReplyDeleteBecause of high heat and drought this Summer, we're quite early for color.
Deletemarigold is the only thing left here, what the rabbits didn't take out, the heat did ~~~~
ReplyDeleteOh, that's too bad.
DeleteNice pics! Our leaves have not begun to turn color yet.
ReplyDeleteI hope the rain doesn't knock them all down so they can turn color

ReplyDeletethecontemplativecat here Here is S. CA, heat has been so hard on gardens and plants. Lilac leaves usually fall leisurely, but with the scorching heat, the leaves are already brown.
🎶All the leaves are brown 🎶
DeleteYour garden is a lot more colorful than mine. Also because we are so drought stricken here, we are only allowed to water once a week and we are fined if we do more than that. Thankfully, I can water my herbs as much as I want thanks to my neighbor who added a water line to his well. I love those maple leaves. I would love to dry a few of those because they are so colorful.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure many communities here have been under a water ban, too. One thing about rural living is having our own well. Himself also uses runoff collected in rain barrels though we didn't get a lot of rain this Summer
DeleteI left a comment just now and I don't think it publilshed! GRRR
ReplyDeleteIt did.
