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.
