Late August and it's time to start getting ready for next year's garden




Some new Iris starts. They are kind of small so I'm not sure if I will see blooms next year

The Bird of Paradise is another sign of fall in my yard

The Asters came back on their own

I put my Amaryllis in the garden to grow the bulbs and sometimes get one or two that bloom a second time 


The harvest makes the effort worthwile

Morning is the best time to see the Mexican Petunias. By late afternoon the blossoms fall and make room for new blooms the next day


I love the harvest

View of garden in early June 2015

The Arum flower is delicate in May

The orange berries of the Arum tell us that fall is not far off

I love a sunrise view of the garden

Garden view in August 2015

The cantaloupe have been big and delicious 

This has been a good year for the Nasturtiums
