Fall in the Garden

The Red Bud tree has lost all it's leaves. The burning bush is red as well as the spirea in back. They survived the summer although not in great shape.

The honey suckle are still in bloom as well as the clematis. We have one pink QE2 rose.

Wayne has dug up the butterfly bush for replacement next year. The hostas are yellow and he is trimming those to the ground.

These are brilliant and wonderful. I purchased three plants, but the third has not done very well. I think the soil is not as good. We fertilized these all summer long. We will mulch heavy in the fall for survival.

Fall is Coming

The garden is dying out. Our burning bush are turning red, and lots of other things are turing yellow and dying. We emptied out all the pots on the lower deck. The clematis still have a few blooms as well as the Halls Honeysuckle.

The waterfall is now finished and the lighting is almost in place. We still have more rocks around the outside and the plants to put in.

In the front yard, the mums are now in bloom.
