Autumn Showers


After Tuesday's storm the weather station pronounced this to be the second wettest September on record for Austin. There are new blossoms daily in the garden and I just wanted to showcase a few lovelies of the season...


Man's perch for rainy September days.



My suburban paradise.

Majestic Sage in her Autumn glory.

New growth on the Japanese Maple.

Finally the Mexican Sage and cuphea are going wild, but what is hidden from this view is blooming curry, rosemary and cannas.



New gold lantana, ponys foot, crape myrtle, Mexican oregano and bulbine.




Pigeon berry, that came back from the garden tour last year. It was trampled by unaccompanied children and I thought it was gone!



Shot of the side garden...jungle...the passion flower vine has now reached the roof.



It's almost time to make the second batch of pesto. I use mostly the sweet basil but like to toss it up a bit with Thai and lemon basil as well.



The magically re-appearing sorrel...third year now. I always think it's finished in July, then...after a good rain, she lives.

Eggplant flower, from the spring planting.

First of the fall fruits.

What's happening in your garden? It's a gorgeous day...I'm going to get out there and plant some more fall veggies and soak up some sun!


Happy Gardening!
