Great photos - you may have to change from greenish to green thumb! btw, i'm glad to see you're sharing with the local wildlife, even if they are slugs.

Love those mums! I am sure your white rose will be a beautiful one. I like that yellow shrub and little bronzie bush very much. Their colours are excellent for autumn! Btw, those mum shots are awesome :-D

Wow, lots of stuff in flower. I have nothing, sigh...

But my helleborus are showing lots of new growth like yours, and I can even see flower buds as well.

Great photos. How lucky you are to still have things growing this time of year. In Michigan...I'm just waiting for my lawn guy to come take away my leaves (worth every penny).

I do love you mums and your rose is beautiful. I hope to see more photos of it in the future.

Rosey, I think roses are totally taken for granted! They are so beautiful and all the roses I have are really tough, blooming most of the summer! I'm pretty excited about the 3 knock outs in front of my house.

Julie - it's an ornamental kale. I usually see them around mum time - I think it's a cold season annual. They're so pretty. If you do a google search, you'll find some beautiful fall containers using kale.

Jane - have I told you how drawn I am to Oregon for some mysterious reason? I would love to make a trip sometime.

Nasty little slugs, I hate 'em too.
But I LOVE your rose, so charming, Wendy. I have high hopes for a rose bush making it through the winter that I planted a while back in September.
Nice mums you got there. :)

The joys of gardening in a more temperate climate than ours (Portland, OR) are abundantly clear from your post. Love those spikey mums!

Gorgeous photos! Everything is so brown here already. :::sigh:::

What is the first picture on the post? I have one of those! No idea what it is, and it certainly doesn't look as beautiful as yours. A neighbor gave it to me in the spring, and it seemed to hate our 100+ degree summer, but it's doing fine now that the weather's cold. Is it an annual or perennial?

Love the Christmas cactus photo too- ours just bloomed for the first time since we planted the cutting two years ago. Gorgeous!
