Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2024 week 43

See Previous | See Next This week I’ve still got a few flowers blooming as we are (probably) poised right on the edge of our first cold snap. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years, agrees this is a time for fall flowers, but probably a touch of snow soon. Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years shows off the transition time, from flowers, to snow and bald seed puffs. …This week my garden is filled with autumn sunshine.

See Previous | See Next This week we’ve had more moisture and it feels like fall and it’s lovely.  And, I’ve got three rose bushes trying to bloom plus one that did!

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years shows off some fall colors that were a bit more vivid than this year, but still good company….

Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2024 week 41

See Previous | See Next This week the garden is looking a lot more like it’s fall, though with a few pretty flowers sticking around.

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years shows this is the season when the foliage pictures are starting to take over from the flowers, and also gives the first…

Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2024 week 40

See Previous | See Next As we advance into October, we have reached now the glory days of marigolds and ornamental kale.  Otherwise, with the combination of warm weather and shortening days, some leaves are turning for fall while others continue to resist. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years, reminds us that fall flowers can come in just about every color, and that if we’re lucky we’ll get fall foliages in nearly every color too. Looking back 2-4 weeks…

Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2024 week 38

See Previous | See Next This week we’ve had nice, cool temperatures and lovely moisture, so things are looking very lush and green.  But we’ve also got those first sprinklings of fall colors and so, with such a small change, now I look out my window and see a fall garden, rather than a summer one. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years shows other hints of fall colors to come, while also really leaning in to the pink- and…

Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2024 week 37

See Previous | See Next The continuing cooler times of September are bringing a few late-season blooms out of hiding.  Delicate and pretty. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years shows all the wide variety that the end of the season brings, concurring that it is about time for the elusive (in my garden anyway) asters. Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years shows flowers from years past (like foxglove) that seem unlikely to turn up this year, and also…

Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2024 week 36

See Previous | See Next Things have been cooling down a bit, and the ground-cover plants are reveling in how very beautiful and green they are. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years really isn’t focused on green, though, but rather on showing off quite a variety of fruits and flowers that absolutely are happy to show up for the end-of-summer season. Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years is hinting at the fall-favorites, though, marigolds and turning foliage. …This…

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years generally concurs. …This week my garden has been getting trimmed up a bit.

Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2024 week 34

See Previous | See Next This week seems to be the week of fruit.  And, I’ve got a big box of pears sitting in my kitchen to prove it. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years does seem to concur that it’s about pear season. Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years, however, predicts that the plums are going to get purpler, and purpler. …This week my garden is singing with frogs and grasshoppers.
