Fall Weather Coming

It has been beastly hot for many days and the yard was parched. Friday a cold front came through and now the days are cool. It feels like fall is coming.

The garden is winding down. We've enjoyed so many good things out there. The peppers and tomatoes are still producing. We did get one fun meal of swiss chard. It's been years since we've had that. I think we will grow that again next year.

In the front the ornamental grass is in full bloom. The campanulas and day lilies still have a few blossoms.

Along the south the althea is still blooming although coming to the end and the ornamental grass looks good. One little surprise was the garlic chives were in bloom. They will be a nice addition to the garden when we move them.

In the back the trumpet vines are winding down. There have been a few roses, but not much. Everything else is gone. I do need to work on more late bloomers out there. The hydraneas did not bloom this year.
