Welcome to my new garden in Pennsylvania, zone 5 for the autumn!
I have been hard at work this year to put in many new garden area according to my garden master plan (
see it here). Before getting to bulb planting yesterday, I took a walk around to capture some of the little fall flowers that are already blooming away here at Havenwood...
 |
| Coreopsis 'Mercury Rising' has a lovely light yellow of the petal reverse which catches the light in a breeze. |
 |
| Beginning of the Fruit Tunnel: two Triple Crown thornless blackberries. |
 |
| Re-blooming Clematis 'William Kennett' is still covered with bees on the trellises in the Knot Garden. |
 |
| Panicum 'Ruby Ribbons' in the Pergola garden... I finally have some room to start growing some of these beauties after all these years of admiring them at Rhone Street Gardens. Hooray for new gardens! :) |
 |
My first little Salvia sclarea var. turkestanica. I will be topdressing this with some more grit before winter; may it ever grow!
|
 |
| Agastache 'Black Adder' has looked wonderful in the mostly empty beds in the Pergola garden this month... a shot of needed color to hold me over while I am planting pieces of geraniums everywhere, allium and lilies for next summer. |
 |
| Classic: Sedum 'Autumn Joy' |
 |
Golden Niobe Weeping Willow, Salix Alba Tristis, is already a beauty beside our old shed.
|
 |
| Coreopsis 'Garnet' is already a superstar in my garden... definitely worth the $3 on clearance. I just wish I had bought more! |
Happy October to you!

Your mums look great! I'm trying some this year, but I'm afraid I don't have enough sun. We'll see though, it's fun to try!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily! They do like the sun, and also a cut back by half in July if you are growing them yourself.

I have some tall very large (about 2 feet wide x2) yellow mums and what I did this year was cut only half of them down. So that I could get early and late blooms with them. To enjoy them twice as much! The ones that I cut, I just stuck in the ground elsewhere in the garden and watered them and they took so easily and are blooming still. They are so easy to propogate!
DeleteSo pretty--all of it! Happy October! Looks like your foliage is near peak now, too. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We have mostly yellow oak leaves, but that maple from the neighbor's yard is a barrow eye catcher right now!

Beautiful pictures of your plants and I am looking forward to see your raised pond where now your lovely mums are stealing the show.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Janneke! Me too :)
