There is a lot of cleanup to do in the garden this time of year. I do leave some plants for awhile longer, because the birds enjoy the seed heads, but therre is a lot of stuff that needs to be hauled out of there before it gets much colder. It can be hard to concentrate on clean-up though when we still have so much pretty stuff going on out there. I am easily distracted from anything resembling actual work. But, at least today, I have some nice shots to share.<\/p>\n

This begonia is on the front porch, and it is still churning out flower after flower. Begonias are a favorite of mine – they aren’t very expensive, do well in lower light spots and as a common name for them, non-stop begonias, implies, they bloom profusely right up until the frost gets them.\"begonia_blossom\"This Hakonechloa grass was planted last fall. It is small, because I am cheap, and bought a very small plant, rather than spending $25 for a bigger one. It is so bright and I am sure it is going to be a favorite in a few more years when it really gets a bit more size. This little frog is unemployed, having lost his job of holding a glass rain gauge when I missed picking him up before it got really cold a few years back. I let him hang around though.\"frog\"This leaves on this coleus are bigger than my hand. It was on sale for a couple bucks at one of my favorite greenhouses in late spring. It is right next to the front door and I am going to miss it when the frost finally gets it.\"coleus\"Remember the springs Larry gave me? I have heard so many compliments about them this year – they look so cool.\"spring\"And this basket is hanging in the back shade garden too – still going strong.\"beg_flower\"Now, I have to get back to getting something accomplished! Have a great Friday everyone…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
