What is your favorite garden memory of the season?

Hard to pick just one, but a few we

* Bearded Irises, planted last fall, came up vigorous and beautiful
this spring.

* Okra, something I've never grown before, took off. Tall plants with
beautiful (short-lived) flowers and lots of okra to eat.

* Mistflower, thoroughwort, and goldenrod all blooming now. In this
sense it is hard to think of the season as over. The fall planting
season (perennials, mostly) is in full swing now that the really hot
weather should be over.


I love my fall bloomers too. I have a "mum" that I was given years ago that
starts blooming in October and will go through all but the hardest of
frosts. I've had fresh color on it in December (ok,it is sheltered but
still...)
