Gardening, anyone?

Teka

The flowers like the cooler mornings!

Teka- here too, I noticed my petunias have started blooming like crazy again! Those flowers are lovely, especially those dark purpley black ones!

Teka

Jazzy,

Daughter chose sophistica blackberry petunias.

What is the viney pink flower?

Teka

Wren,

The acapulco salmon & pink agastache, also known as hummingbird mint has flower spikes that bent over. Not a vine!

The bumble bee is on a snapdragon bloom.

Teka

Our sunflowers before being eaten by deer.

Teka- oh the sunflowers! I heard there is a farm up the road offering to let people come cut some end of the season sunflowers if they want them. Wish I had time to go get some, but still settling in from vacation trip and busy work week. Those flowers are beautiful.

Birds must fatten up for the flight. I think our hummingbirds are now gone, have not seen any since I have been back. They are usually done in this area including the ones migrating down by Oct 1st, but saw a few lingers coming through the first few days of the month. I leave the feeder up through October for any late ones.

Teka Your sunflowers bring a smile to my face, I hope the deer enjoyed them.

Two hobbies beautiful fall colours.

Gardening is over for me this year, but I do have some flowers blooming indoors.

My Mom could grow African violets from a leaf. Their house faced north and Dad made shelves for them in the windows. I've tried it and ended up with rotten leaves. So I buy mine and get the self-watering planter for them. It has a glazed bowl with a matching pot in the hole. The bottom part of the pot isn't glazed so water just seeps thru. They love it.

Wren I know violets should have indirect light, but this is a south facing window and they seem to be thriving.

Lucy great variety of plants, looks nice and warm outside.

Jazzygirl

We have a warm spell here and lots of blooms going on in my pots. Hard to believe it is almost November, normally we have a hard frost by now but loving my patio and all the end of season color here at the end of October.

Lucy- it is spring where you are and lovely blooms in your garden. Help to keep us going here through the winter months for those of us here in the northern hemisphere!

Very pretty Lucy and Jazz. We are having a major heatwave and drought here. On the bright side, our subdivision finally decided to dredge our lake of the silt that we got from the 500 year flood a few years ago. It looks terrible now, but I'm taking pictures of the progress and when it's done we will have really nice lake frontage again. Much deeper as well. We're on a corner with a stream going into the lake and they have dredged a cove at the edge of our property. Can't wait for them to finish and then start thinking about building the lake patio and firepit we want.

Jazzy your flower pots look healthy and vibrant. You would never know it is the end of October

Lucy55

Jazzy ..I love your pots. ☺

Scottie ..Love your splash of colour , and your pumpkins !!! We have some self sown pumpkins on a vine near our compost heap at the moment ...

Jazzygirl

Thank you ladies. How about some cottonwood foliage pictures?

Wren44

Beautiful. And best of all for a Seattleite, blue sky above them.

Lucy55

Jazzy ..How bright , beautiful , cheerful !!!!

Jazzygirl

Thank you ladies!

I grew up in the northeast and we had those beautiful fall colors each year to enjoy. I moved in and out of that area a few times, but have essentially been gone from that part of the US for over 20 years. I was back in NYC a couple weeks ago and due to the warm late summer to fall they have been having, the trees were still pretty green instead of having more color change.

So I had to come back to NM to see my golden cottonwoods. We love them here, most of these large trees are 100 years old.

More fall color. My maple and burning bush and a tree on my trail walk yesterday.

My allyssum are really enjoying the weather. Each purple and white section was one plant. They looked just horrible in our hot summer spell. We thought they were an epic fail.

Ladies,

All of your pictures are gorgeous! I add the new ones as you post them to my background slideshow so that I can admire all of them throughout the day.

Thank you so much for sharing!
