Fall in the garden

After some really cold nights there isn't much blooming in the garden, but there is still lots of interest.  


The Purple Prince Snapdragons reseed every year in the Secret Garden and are still blooming away.

Salvia 'May Night' still producing a few blooms

The fall pillar display. The theme seems to be rusty elements.



I love this little grass.

  1. Great post Michelle, Don't you love 'May Night'? That plant is a blooming fool for me. Your's looks very happy. I really love your fall arrangement with the bucket and gear.

    1. Thanks Deanne, actually for me May Night isn't all that great. I get a little rebloom but not a lot.

  2. I love the rusty theme at our "farm" as well. The Berberis is a shocking red right now too. I have an ornamental kale this year that is still looking mighty healthy...as well as beets and carrots yet to harvest. There's a single yellow foxglove remaining...and the grasses. This week is predicted to be wet and relatively warm. Time for us to order in winter wood for the stove.

    1. Marie, the berberis I have turn a shocking orange. I didn't label it but this is a cotoneaster. I envy your beets as the deer ate almost all of mine. I figure better the beets than flower gardens.

    1. Thanks Sharon, we have lots of rocks in our fields here. I figure they might as well be used for something.
