October 15th Blooms

This had been an unusual fall for this area, we usually have had a killing frost by now. Lots of my annuals are still blooming, they are looking a little ragged but still are in bloom :). For perennials, the asters are in their full glory, also the sedums, the hibiscus are still blooming, mostly while laying on the ground but still blooming. I have some roses still in bloom as well.

My garden is not at it's best right now, summer is winding down, I am ready for fall, I love the fall, I am tired of the heat and humidity. This has been a very unusual August with all the rain. It rained seven days in a row, we received over 10 inches during that time. The creeks and rivers are high but nothing like some parts of the country. Today was beautiful, tomorrow is supposed to be as well. I have a list of things I want to get done outside. It is time to dump some of my annuals and get ready for the fall display of mums.

July 15th Garden Bloom Day

We need rain badly! I am being kept busy just watering, my hubby is busy watering all the veggies.

I took most of these photos this AM after coming back from walking the dogs. My roses are kind of at a stand still right now, mostly buds, after the first flash of blooms, my pot plants are all doing well. This past spring my husband built me a raised herb bed, I call it my "garden for the senses", we enjoy walking by and brushing the leaves to release the various aromas, I am going to do a post on it one day soon.
