Fall Garden - Halloween

It is very strange to me that with the cold winter, cool spring, and mild summer, that we are having such a warm fall. I usually like to have a dying garden be a part of the Halloween decorations, but this year we have new Clematis and Zinnia blooms to go with the spider webs and rotting corpses.

Time for some flower close ups

When my cousin Karin was here in September she took some photos of the flowers in our yard that gave me a good example to follow. I realize that I love the flowers! But I do a crappy job capturing what it is I love about them. Karin's photos helped me realize how to do that. So here's my attempt.

Pots in Fall

After the spring annual pots started to look scraggly, I went to the nursery and got some plants that like the heat. Little did I know that they would also like fall! The pots are all amazing, and I want to capture this moment so that I can go and get these same things next year!

I love the soft clover, that has been growing all season.

This ivy in the side bed urn is NUTS! I need to get better control, I think.
