Gardening, anyone?

Teka- did it leave the darned stinger inside?

I, too, love the pics! Jazzy I was jealously admiring your colorful sedums and figuring that our drought meant summer color was over when - Texas Sage blooms! They mean rain, and we did have a great afternoon downpour. Hope that wasn't it. Linda

Teka - it is so cool. It only blooms when it's going to rain. The rest of the time, year round, it's a s oft shade of sage green. It makes me pay attention✌️❤️ Linda

Here is the "pinking up" of the autumn harvest sedum in the backyard. I have had this one for awhile and it has grown very tall this year with the rain. The flowers remind me of cauliflower. In another week or so they will be a deep mauve color, which is such a cool color you never see in a garden. I will post again when they come in to full color.

oh yes! I can relate! At first I thought it said Lost "IN" the garden. Relate to that too haha.

Booklady- thank you for the nice compliments! One of my BFFs lives in Austin, so I do make my way over there on occasion! I would love to come teach you. It is really not design thinking, as as much as just seeing something that speaks to me and then adding to it. It's all a process of adding as the season goes on.

For that little pot, I had bought a friend of mine one with a plant in it this spring for Easter who was going through chemo. I was sorry I never got one of those same pots for myself, but later went back to the nursery and they still had them. I bought the snowflake plant and put it in that pot (it will need to go in the groud this fall to establish before the cold comes so I am looking for a good spot). Then a few months later, I was a my fav tea shop and found a bunch of gardening things there on sale (gardening stuff at the tea shop, huh?) I love how the little sign goes perfectly with the pot!

Here is my final photo for today. I bought these sunflowers bunches at the farmers market yesterday. She told me the flowers were dropping a lot of pollen, so I had to put the container outside today (ah choo!) Then I went out later to see the bumblebees all over the flowers! We talked about not seeing a lot of bumblebees around, but this year, my yard is filled with them!

Beautiful!

Been weak and fighting to breath,

but Faith is a helper and I love her so.

God bless You for You caring heart.

Hello all - just had to share a little late summer color from the Farmer's Market this week. I don't grow dahlias myself, so I am always drawn to them. Enjoyed all the lovely recent pics!

Pretty pictures ladies. Texas sage blooming is a new one for me. I so enjoy seeing what everyone can grow.

I have a couple of new kinds of sunflowers blooming. We've had plenty of bumble bees but only see the honey bees occasionally. They seem to like the sunflowers and are swarming the sedums.

So inspiring! I'm going to check out sedums in my native plant book🌻Linda

Saturday night it snowed about 4 inches in Jasper, which is just a couples hrs north of here. Surprised we didn't get it as it has been barely above zero. I hate the cold.

Please, 1st snow in the North Country after Halloween!
