Happy Sunday all.
What a difference a day makes. A cold front that came thru the Northeast yesterday afternoon cooled Vermont down a good 20 degrees. Instant Fall. Weatherguy says temps will drop into the low 40's tonight. Yikes. Break out the fleece jackets. Yesterday, I started the process of closing down the garden for the Winter. I managed to get 34 plants mulched with leaf mulch around the plant and topped with red cedar mulch on top. I actually recycle all the leaves I blow into the forest each Fall, and reuse them the following year for my daylily plants. It makes for a wonderful mulch and food for the plants during the long Winter. The cold weather comes quickly here in Vermont, so while I still have a few plants still blooming in the garden, I am working hard to get all these plants covered up for the snows that will come. Fortunately, the seedling beds are all done.
This all be my last image to be posted for 2014. Of all things it is an FFOE.
BUDDY'S PRETTY LAURA - FFOE - Nice surprise yesterday morning to see this lovely flower blooming, and great way to end my blooming season for this year.
