You got it! 😂🤣 what’s the harm after all! Bring in the pumpkin!!🤪

Ah! Drizzle today but this evening it was noticeably frosty & the deck slick! Maybe a proper frost in the making. Then I can start lifting bulbs & packing away the too many pots😱Garlic’s planted but got more spring bulbs to plant🤦🏽‍♀️need plants anonymous! Is yours all done? Thanks! You too!🤗

Hello Celia! It is, isn’t it:) thank you 🙏hope your day is going well 🤗🌼

Good! I like it a lot, Marg! Seems peaceful here somehow. I thought you had a frost! Poor you. That’s the start of cozy weather for you then🤷🏽‍♀️🍂🤗

Feel like a pumpkin spice latte or pie yet? 🥧 😂 Thank you Marg! Hope you’ve been having a good day 🤗☕️🍂

Ha ha yea! Marigolds are gold, literally! It has been a weird weather year and it continues!

Ahh seems the same here - not quite heat wave territory but 22C in late October!!! Ah yes they do suffer from mildew often by this time! Some of mine were more resistant- I should make note for next year! Did you find that too?

It’s a drizzly , gloomy looking day but the fall colours look so pretty even on a gloomy morning ☺️ So fortunate to have 4 distinct seasons. Such charm in them all! Have a lovely day 🌱

Worth persevering, these are all from seed.
Pictures show a selection of open flowered dahlias in shades from pale pink through cerise to poppy red on foliage lime green to almost purple.

They’re all so beautiful! I love the dark foliage- which is part of the reason I hunted down the seeds last year. I’m hopeful that planting tubers next yr (from this years seed grown ones) in richer soil may result in blooms. They should have stored up some energy, given it wasn’t used up to make 🌺

I love marigolds! I just visited them- don’t look so hot on this soggy morning. Been on the fence about pulling them. Temps are set to dip below freezing here by early next week, so it may be time 🤷🏽‍♀️

Lol I’m in the same snack aisle as you Kate! 🤣

It’s a work of art! Def out of my snack bracket too 😂

💗🤗

It’s so rewarding. If you enjoy growing from seed, you’ll love the process! 💗

It’s the first time I visited that area and I was just spellbound! It’s incredibly beautiful! Hope you have a wonderful time there!

Wish you luck Anne! I’m very curious to find out. I have an anemone in couple places in the garden and would love more of them- from seed would be so fun! Thank you!

Hi Ana! 🙋🏽‍♀️so happy to see you too! Looks like lots of our gardening community is here ! It’s lovely 🤗

Thank you. Me too! ☺️

You’re welcome Joy! I’m so glad you’re quick with a pic! 🦋

My pleasure:)

Hello Fiona 🙋🏽‍♀️fancy seeing you here 😃How’ve you been!

Thank you! Nature is a great artist! I should call it serendipity since my bishop did not flower (grown from seed) but hopefully there will be tubers 🤞🏽I am very pleased indeed with this CAL /Bishop hybrid🥹

Good morning/aft Celia 🙋🏽‍♀️What a lovely surprise that is! It seems nothing will stop your clematis!!😃 oh for sure-I plan to garden next yr. I took a week away at the end of Sep. & it’s stalled my momentum but that’s ok. I’m hunting down seeds now 😂 !here’s my morning surprise!! Sweet peas! Hah! So fun

I really like it! You’re welcome Celia! 💗

That is a very good comparison Celia! Only, prettier and more alive! 😜You’re welcome 🤗🧡

Anne, I purchased the Bishop’s children dahlia seeds from a local gardener in Toronto- last year. This dahlia did not bloom but that could be because of my mistake (seeds for other dahlias purchased from William Dam seeds & OSC did bloom). www.hanaearthgardens.ca/about

I purchased some last year to grow this spring but I only host leafy growth. I think my Solow as less than optimal but it did the same in pots too. I’ll try them again next year!

Noticed these trees being taken over by fungi. Like a fungi invasion… 🍄🍄🍄
