This is how extraordinarily different weather in one part of the US can be from another. On my deck, my pot of Teddy Bear sunflowers and purple salvia are just now beginning to bloom. We've waited all summer, and while you had photos of sunflowers about a month ago, it's only now that I get to see them in person. Have you had a frost yet? We're in the upper 70s daytime, and mid 50s overnight lows, but only for this week. I think it'll drop to the 40s next week, at night. I'll be harvesting tomatoes (and finally making my green tomato pickle relish) this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe have had weather similar to yours this week and no frost yet although in some of the higher elevations I think they did.
DeleteYour second looks are beautiful. I'm with you, it's harder to find new things growing outdoors right now. We found two ripe strawberries today and lots of fresh baby's breath, but other than that not much new here.
ReplyDeleteStrawberries? I haven't seen those in months. Do you dry the baby's breath?
DeleteI love your second look posts - it makes me wish I had such a beautiful garden with so much life in it :)
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful! The berries look so neat !! And so cool that you caught a photo with a butterfly.
