This is a slow month in the garden. The hydrangeas continue to age and shift to a cranberry color, yet the ferns are still going strong. I begin to focus on transitioning from summer to fall by combining elements of both. The ferns will nestle with the pumpkins, gourds and mums, as a preview of what's to come. This is just a touch of autumn that I'll continue to add to as we head toward October. 

 

The tulip bulbs have been ordered and will arrive in time for a late fall planting. More to come on that!

 

My favorite little nod to the season is placing mini pumpkins above our front door. They are out of reach of the squirrels, so I don't have to worry about them and they just look so cute! Speaking of cute….how about Miss Molly?!
