| mums in side yard garden |
Fall has arrived here. After being in the 90's the first week of September, the temps in the last two weeks have been below normal. We've been down in the 40's at night. But on this last weekend of summer, summer weather returned. It is supposed to hit 90 today. Fall is beautiful here with warm, dry, sunny days. I planted some mums in the side yard garden to replace flowers that are no longer blooming. But there is still blooming going on in most of the yard.

| The lavender is still blooming in the side yard garden. |

| The glossy abelia bush is loaded with blossoms |
 |
| My goldenrod (Solidago rugosa) Fireworks just flowered last week. |
 |
| In the electrical garden, surrounding the electrical box, the milkweed plants are full of milkweed bug beetles. |
 |
| The coleus in my deck pot is full of blooms. |
 |
| Since I cleaned out a lot of the cosmos from the garden, the Japanese anemones are much more visible. |

| The pink dogwood tree is full of red berries that the birds love. |
 |
| The loriope plants have lots of purple blooms. |

| The back yard garden |
The back yard garden that surrounds the patio is lush and full of flowers and plants. I wish it could stay this way all year. At the first frost all this will be gone. Sigh.
You still have so many beautiful flowers blooming. I didn't have any cosmos bloom this year. I didn't see any that came up from last years seeds. So sad here with this drought situation. We are heading for another few days of hot weather. We did have a nice break last week and I truly enjoyed the cooler weather.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some relief from the drought situation out there. This is the first time cosmos has ever reseeded for me in this climate.
