Things thinning out, but below (Sept 16, 2013) is not that different from the fifth picture of September 2 above.
Our own asters are just coming into bloom (Sep 19, 2013).
Below includes the end of the helenium and the beginning of the New England asters at a perennial garden (Mrs. L's) which I installed and have maintain for over ten years (Sept 20,2013).
Hardscaping (recent addition) not my work!
