The Last of the Last

October has been warm, sunny and dry.  As I was watering and weeding yesterday I realized that my efforts to eradicate Feverfew had, for the most part, been successful until I found the last one .

The most obnoxious weed/flower in existence, Feverfew grows so fast it can sprout up in just a day.

Speaking of last ones, 'Bee's Jubilee' clematis which has been blooming sporadically throughout the summer has put on her final show.

And of course there's always the last rose of summer .

And its a 'Knockout' !

END OF SEASON SPECIALS

A beautiful end of season sight : Ornamental Grasses
and 'Knockout' Roses

Korean Mums saved from the Freeze

The last of the tomatoes.

Time to rake the last of the leaves and make final preparations in the garden for the coming winter. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I have a lot to be thankful for this year.

FALL PALETTE

Now that I've put all the gardens on my clients list to bed I can relax and enjoy the beautiful colors of Fall from my garden and others on my street. Walking about with my trusty camera I snapped shots of viburums, oakleaf hydrangea, burning bush, boston ivy, azaleas, bergenia, serviceberry, sugar maples, smokebush, balloon flowers and hosta.

I'm sure that most of you can easily identify them in my collage above.
