Mid-October this year
It's been a mild October so far, the morning glories are going nuts
out there, I love the Heavenly Blue blossoms, and they last all day with this damp drizzly weather we're having. The pineapple sage that is usually nipped by the frost before it blossoms is blooming like mad out there, so much so that my oblivious to flowers husband commented on how nice they looked out there by the street. The Nicotiana mutabilis are so tall this year, and so lovely still, the daturas are still putting forth lovely white blossoms and the bees are enjoying every minute of it. I've been digging the new section of the garden, removing the dandilions that multiplied out there - I let them go because they're so inportant for the bees, but enough's enough, the ones in the veggie garden have got to go. They can run rampant in the lawn ;- The bulb order will be here soon, and I'll get the garlic in the ground by the end of the month. Then everything will be tucked in nicely for the winter nap. I do love the seasons and yes, even winter. The Winter Solstice is my favorite solstice, it means the return of the light. The cold, grey dullness of winter has to be endured to get the soft renewal green of Spring. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |
