As is typical, I am arriving late to foliage followup, hosted by
Pam, of Digging. When I just went to her blog for the link, I see she forgot to do hers this month. LOL Her post on local nurseries looks fun, so I will go check it out after I get this posted. I labeled the photos this time instead of writing above them like I normally do. Now, I can't write anything past the last photo. I couldn't cut and paste the vertical one, either.
I hope you and your gardens are doing well. Our first killing freeze is expected this week, so I hope to get out and do some cleaning up today. I have the day off for semester break. There is a 60% chance of rain, so I should probably go out in the 43 degrees and get started.

I really dropped the ball on hosting Foliage Follow-Up this month, but I'm glad you left your link, Sue, giving me a chance to visit your post. You have a lot of interest still for so late in the season. And the way you labeled your photos this time makes it easy to see what's what. Enjoy your last freeze-free week in the garden!
ReplyDeleteSue, we have that misty rain here as well. I am hoping to get outside this afternoon and do some yard and garden cleanup. It certainly has been a great fall up to now. Hasn't it? It sad to see the plants winding down and getting ready for the winter cold weather but I have some inside projects to keep me busy this winter so that will help get me through to the Spring again.
ReplyDeleteHow do you remember all those flower names. I don't have that many and still have a hard time remembering what I planted in that spot. It must be the love of plants that allows you to know each one by name.
Have a great day and try to remain dry. :0)
Beautiful post, Sue...I'm so glad you included Asparagus...so many people overlook the delightful cloud of foliage is has! I'm excited you have Persicaria polymorpha...isn't it stunning! I am faced with the reality of having to move it (or all the plants near it) next year...it's quite big (which I love!)
ReplyDeleteI love lambs ears. It is beautiful to me - no blooms needed. I also love your wild senna and your parsley. Nice foliage.
ReplyDeleteWe're expecting the first frost too. Hope you got all you wanted done.
ReplyDeleteThe unnamed silver plant is just exquisite!
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of color and textures from foliage more than the blooms Sue. You have such a pretty assortment of both. :)
ReplyDeleteSue, I'm facing the same chore too, and dreading it. It's either cut rocks or get the garden under control, and the bad part is, the rock work is still calling me.
ReplyDeleteNice line-up of foliage. Looks like everything's healthy and ready to go dormant for a bit. You'll be all set come spring!
