Monday-Tuesday

We made our annual pilgrimage into the mountains to see the fall foliage.

And this jumped through the cracks in my garden walk.

Fall Gardening and Promised Pictures

My gardening shopping genes went into hibernation for the hot months of summer then fall rolled around and I made my annual pilgrimage to the Growers' Outlet  in Pineville and those shopping genes, which used to be much more focused on shoes, have kicked back in and I'm binging on mums. For me they make fall worthwhile.

My shopping cart (buggy). Do you recognize what's in it?

Another picture of my white mum that I planted last year. Looks like two there, but only one. Someone with four paws, who shall remain nameless but not blameless, walked through it. 

A little bit of gardening trivia: Mums supposedly have a better chance of survival if planted in the spring instead of the fall. I ask you, can you even buy mums in the spring?

AND....
The baby hydrangea is trying to bloom. Do you think he'll make it before it frosts?

Pictures, as promised, of the lovely and talented Diane Wolfe.
