How Does Your Garden Grow?


Windy days and the Japanese maple still hasn't lost it's leaves


The Watchers. Not often that I can get them in one shot.


If you look carefully through the trees, you can see a ginormous house being built.  Prissy and Gruff owned that plot of land and wanted to build a house for their daughter. Because of an unusually heavy rainfall in April of that year, the plot didn't pass the perk test and they were never able to build the house.

The November garden flag which looks similar to the September flag


Most of the leaves are down in the backyard.

How does your garden grow?

  2. Leaves are down here too. Except for a few stragglers. Did that piece of land pass the perk test because we've been so dry? Your all the leaves down view looks a lot like one of the views from my house. Less wind than yesterday-hurrah for that. Have a great one CJ.

    1. Yeah, it probably passed because it was so dry.

    1. We are chilly at night and now chilly during the day. I think real November weather finally arrived.

    1. I didn't realize how long the Japanese maple holds onto its leaves. Even the oak leaves have fallen

    1. At this time of the year, the Japanese Maple is a real show stopper

  10. I love your watchers. Most of the leaves are down here in southern CT, but a few still have some. The oak trees seem to be one of the last ones to drop their leaves. And there is another tree type that has leaves on it, even after they turned yellow.

    1. I'm surprised how long the Japanese maple is holding on. We've had some pretty gusty winds this past week

  11. We had a very nasty brush fire over the weekend on Neversink Mountain in Reading. Yesterday, we finally got some well-needed rain here.

    That is such a shame about your neighbors house. :(

    Love the pic of "the watchers"
