Fall Is Around The Corner.

 It's time to start cutting back the yard 
and putting the lovely ladies of the night
away!  

But I have to put the walls up on the 
Brugmansia House.   Busy week ahead.

If you are local, watch for our ad on CL
for cuttings. 

A Beautiful Surprise

I had some visitors to the gardens
and shared a few plants a few weeks
ago.  The husband and daughter came
back with the most awesome Sour dough
bread, it was so lite and heavenly!

Thank you so much!  Best bread I have
ever eaten!

2026 -- Working On The Brugmansia House

 














Our son and I worked on fixing the roof area
on the Brugmansia house before putting up
new plastic today!  I just have the north wall
plants to move and hopefully move the table
to the east wall.

More photos when it's done.

2026 Lost Brugmansia from 2021

 











I took several tip cuttings and lost the 
mother plant due to a virus.  To my 
surprise the one I thought was my 
double white turned out to be my
lost Brug.  Louka X  OS Flamme 
from seeds from L. Salonova
The cuttings were all labeled until
the squirrel found it's way into the 
greenhouse.  

I am so happy this one survived.
There is an earlier post on this
Brugmansia when I got her in 2021.

This Brugmansia I took 6 tip cuttings
and it take a few years to get them 
this size.  When I talks about tip cutting it's 
around 1 inch in size.  Some say it's
the best way to do these plants.  



















First blooms!

2026 Morning Fog!

 Already!  I have been watching the leaves
are starting to drop and change colors.  It's 
time to start working on the greenhouses
and getting them ready to be filled.

This time is year is when I disappear so 
that everything can be put away safely.
The yard will disappear shortly.   I am
just great full for another great year of
all the bloomers we have been blessed
with.

I hear we are going to have a hard winter
so it's important to start early.  The Sedum
is already turning the red color, so fall is 
here!


















Fall Crocus:




































Sure signs of fall already!

2026 What a Great Weekend!

 I got to share my garden with several 
folks that stopped by!  Pretty soon it 
will be all gone for the year.  I'm in 
the process of cutting back a lot of
plants and cleaning out the greenhouses
So I can redo and start the process of
filling them up for the winter months.

We will be closing for the season on 
Sept. 15, as those that visited can tell
you the trees around us are causing 
issues with our yard.  Plus I plan to
kill off our grass and put out a new
lawn.
