Autumn Bliss

 We welcomed Autumn

with its beautiful colours.

I am late in posting this blog.

Rosehips

Rowan berries

on the Mountain Ash tree.

The robins feasted on them

before their long trip South.

I hung some up to dry to add

 to my Christmas wreaths.

Spirea bush

An interesting colour.

Barberry Bush

Rudbeckia 

A long lasting Autumn

flower in bloom.

Huge Loosestrife leaf 

 Amur Maple

Echinacea/Coneflower 

I took some seeds.

Wild Mushrooms/Fungi

interesting displays

 here and there.

My Geraniums were beautiful this year.

I had red, pink and purple ones.

I wanted to keep some for next year, so 

I cut some pieces/slips of my 

geraniums and put them to root.

It took a few weeks before roots appeared.

I planted them in pots,

 along with some

hen'n'chickens. 

I had chipmunks that ate

most of my hens'n'chickens

So I took out a few to

save them and plant

them inside for the Winter.

I hope they survive 

We are now in November.

The leaves have all fallen.

Snow will here soon.

Happy Fall!

Thanks for your visit

Vegetable Gardening

We've had a lot of rain this year

which was good for the 

vegetable garden.

Although too much rain for 

Strawberry and raspberry growers,

also farmers crops.

I'm sharing some photos

 from my garden.

I planted tomatoes in pots.

 Italian tomatoes.

Small Cherry tomatoes were plentiful

 

 Jujube Tomatoes

Large Beef Tomatoes

Carrots were successful.

Green Beans.

Yellow beans with tomatoes

I planted peas for the first time.

Hot pepper

Cucumbers

 

I grew them on a trellis

to prevent them from 

laying on the ground.

Gives a cleaner cucumber

Summer is behind us now.

We welcome Autumn with

it's beautiful colours. 

Today I  cleaned flower pots and

picked up outside,

getting ready for Winter.

Wishing you all a Happy Fall.

August Flowers

The month of August has come to an end.

Summer sure passed fast this year.

We’ve had a lot of rain.

On the plus side we didn't have

to water flower as often.

It was great for the flowers

and gardening.

I planted Zinnas from seed.

Rudbekia

Theses perennials are

so pretty in the Fall,

 in shades of orange, 

yellow and browns,  and

they are low maintenance

and long lasting.

Liqularia

Huge, around 7ft. tall.

Queen of the Meadow

Another tall plant.

In the Sunken Garden

Hollyhocks

A new Hollyhock

started from seed.

Nice colour,

Lemon, Lime

I planted Marigolds from

 seed to deter bugs,

to place in my barrels and

 with tomato plants,

I planted in pots.

I assumed they were 

about 6 inches tall.

Surprise, they were 4ft tall.

African type.

They are call Crackerjack Marigolds.

So bright and stunning.

Helenium and Echinacea 

Helenium 💛

One of my favourite flowers.

Pearly Everlasting

We had torrential rains which

damaged my Sunflower Garden

I managed to stake them up tied to poles

The Woodland Garden

was flooded.

The bridge moved about 3ft.

My son came to visit from Vancouver.

In the photo, my son Daniel, DIL Marina

And grandsons Louis and Jacob. 

Here I am in the middle.

My Grandsons have grown. 

My daughter, Suzanne

on the Boardwalk at

New Carlisle beach. 

A beautiful Boardwalk 

 lit up at night.

My niece Caroline and sister Annie.

at the beach in New Carlisle.

The end of August 

we had a Super Blue Moon,

lightning up the night sky.

The second full moon in

 a month is considered a

Super Blue Moon.

It will not happen again

until 2037.

Sadly Summer is ending.

Happy Fall Everyone.

Thanks for your visit.
