Autumn colours

I was inspired today!! I looked out of my window this morning and the recent fresh rains brought out such beautiful Autumn colours! So I took my camera and explored the wet garden. I found the most interesting perspectives and saw my garden in a different light! Lots of colour that I thought I had lost…

Country living is the best! Being a true spirit of the earth, my garden is all about vegetables and fruit trees and herbs and chickens roaming free. I was keen to really start gardening when we moved to Philadelphia in 2005, but not your typical suburban-type garden – sterile and bug-free! I wanted an edible garden.

What a wonderful variety of photos in this collection! Someone is enjoying her camera!! Thanks for giving the rest of us the enjoyable tour. 🙂

Hope you’re enjoying your Spring. SG

Thank you Shady Gardener – we are now in winter 🙁 but we have had some welcome rain. I like the winter – sometimes!

Thanks Diana – I know it is indigenous 🙂 and when grown you can shape it into a round ball bush – I like that idea!

Oh dear – I can feel it – I have been following the torrential storms in the mid-western states – those tornadoes are frightening! We are in for strange weather patterns!

Yes – I see that it is! I’m so pleased because I tried growing from seed with no results. I know it has great medicinal properties, so it will fit into my garden nicely! 🙂

I cut the Gaura near the pool area because it looks neater for winter. The Gaura in the front is still as is. I want to collect seeds because they self-seed really well in my garden.

It’s amazing how the garden changes, revealing a different type of beauty every season. Everything looks so fresh, even though it’s your autumn. The little gnome is adorable. I like your white yarrow more than the yellow kind I have. And I’m especially jealous of all those lemons!!!

Hi Holley – I have to say that autumn has a beauty of its own – I love all the seasons. My lemons have never looked so amazing – I use all my lemons, so they really are a great asset in a garden!! Feed them Epsom Salts!
