One reason I hate Fall

Isn't it nice, though, to know that you did it, and had something to enjoy all summer long? My cosmos are STILL going strong, and they are so bright and beautiful. I'll be sad when they die off after the first frost. Last year I planted some Iris bulbs late... I'd say June or so. In Nov. I had some blooming iris out in the garden. Now THAT was a surprise. LOL! I walked by a garden this afternoon filled with morning glories. Those little vines are only to bloom in the morning hours. These must have been part 4 o'clocks, as they were still blooming this late in the day. Winter is coming, too quickly, I'm afraid. Enjoy those last little flowers as long as you can. (take them in a dry 'em, so they can keep you smiling all winter!!!)

Oh yeah—the work that comes along with Fall—in the flower beds and in the garden- I agree—I love looking at the flowers all through the Spring & Summer- We are taking out a whole flower bed this Fall- starting from scratch- we have this awful vine that keeps growing back year after year- through the mulch- so we are digging everything out- and roto-tilling the dirt- hoping to get its roots. Fun fun!

Do you think you would enjoy your flowers as much if they were there all the time? I think the lack of permanence is what makes my gardens special to me. That's not saying I don't miss them. The anticipation though, reminds me of children at Holiday times.

Well here is what I do.I transplant into all those leftoevr planters you have from buying plants.During the summer I have a yard sale and add them in.I usually make more from my plants than I do from the stuff I have from my house.

You can start transplanting some of those beautiful plants to me if you want to! ha ha ha......It's really too bad that happened and I can understand your not liking the fall for that reason. All your hard work and look what Mother Nature of all people does to it.

I can relate. I have a huge garden with many plants in it. The roses still look beautiful but it's getting colder and colder and soon I'll have to cut them. I have a question, which lilias look the nicest according to you? Just asking because I want to plant some lilias next year, but I'm not sure what kind of lilias grow on a very sunny and not too dry place and which look nice of course.

Sounds like you're quite the green thumb, my dad is the very same way. Now is the time to start picturing what you're gonna do with the landscaping for next year, I'm sure that that beautiful thought will make things seem a little better. :)

I know what you mean, my flowers are all brown. I am planning to plant some new beds. It rained last night so the soil is most. I am going to go out and dig up the soil later.

Yes, it's that time now. I don't have many plants and stuff because I definitely don't have a green thumb. LOL So I don't have to worry about cutting them back and transplanting them. My husband's grandmother usually comes over and plants things for us in the front yard. So if anything gets done out there (planting wise) then she does it.

A lot of gardening to keep you busy. You can spend time drawing up new beds when it is two wet and cold to go out side. I do not have any bulbs but two so I do on replant them. LOL I do not do much like gardening on the grass or weeding so I have a gardener for the grass, bushes and weeds.

Its sad when you see the plants in front of you getting dried. I know the feeling, but you have many nicest flower in you garden and you have thos miracle hand touch, so it will be nice again with the lilly

Yes it is that time. I just have pots with plant in them but they are looking very sad right now. Another thing is that the neighbors walnut tree has already shed it's walnuts and most of it'l leaves and they didn't even turn colors....

wow!!!you are 'green thumb' person Grandpa Bob!!!. You did planting and gardening on your own? What made you started? That was very great.

hi,i am skye ,i want to tell you that fall is the best season in a year,you can be long for . the plant's flowers die because the fruit will grow up.so fall is a plentiful harvest.though the flowers are seared,but they gastate offspring.it is a beautiful thing ,isn't it?it also means what you pain,what you gain.
