It’s time to celebrate what’s blooming in our gardens again. Here’s a peek into my southwestern Connecticut garden (zone 6). A special thank you to Carol of May Dreams Gardens for hosting gardens bloggers from around the world on the 15th of each month – Garden Bloggers Bloom Day.
Your garden looks to be in good condition so far this fall. We have had frosts now that have finished many of the plants.
Valerie, All in all, it’s been a mild fall so far here, but today the temps are falling the wind is gusting so I’m sure the garden will look a bit worse for the wear soon. Our first frost can’t be more than a few weeks away.
Lovely images, I like the slideshow presentation.
Thank you. I like the slideshow too, it’s a bit different but definitely gives you a sense of the garden and the flowers.
Haven’t “visited” your garden for a while – it looks lovely. Some of the same plants are almost finished in my garden, like the solidago. I wonder if you being just those few miles further north makes a difference?
Monica, I imagine the slightly more northern location of my garden is the reason. That and the fact that I’m convinced my garden is a few degress cooler than my neighbors. Seems like my flowering shrubs in particluar always blooms several days later than the norm. It’s maddening when I’m waiting for the first flowers but I must admit I like it on the ‘downside’.
Kudos to Carol for bringing yet another outstanding blog to my attention.
Thanks Ricki. It is amazing to see who participates in GBBD isn’t it.
