Thumbs up, indeed.

Funny how you can pull up something like this Cosmos you found and didn't want, randomly stick it in a planter, and then this is what it does for you.






Roses and Gomphrena

Tee, I have that happening too !! great shots .. I had a lone coleus and a PUNY Blackeyed Susan start,I left them lay and lay on top of the dirt.They kept living ...So I planted them OM,the BES vine has completly taken over and the coleus is beautiful... See if I have a photo

See the coleus in the lower right corner,also the huge coleus up top I had all those left over ,so I just stuck them in and WHOAAA

My 2 huge Mandevilles ,I dont have anywhere to winter them over ....


My Sea of petunias,went crazy...

Nice pics Tamara and Tee.

Walked around yesterday surveying the land and there are somethings just refusing to let go. Got pics but aren't uploaded yet. Will get to that after groceries and post office and Wal-Mart so best get cracking. All have a wonderful day................ Hope its becomes the day you want it to be.

Wow, look at those petunias! Oh, those Mandevillas too! I almost bought one several times this year, but I don't have any place to overwinter them either. My garage simply won't hold anything else.

Someone gave me a canna tuber that I stuck in the ground randomly this past Spring and that thing has grown by leaps and bounds. It just keeps spreading and blooming. Same thing with the Dahlia peeking out from behind it.





It's coming after me.



'Double Knock Out'



Yellow 4 o'clocks still going strong

I just love cosmose. I planted some bright red ones for next spring.
Its just yellows in the garden these days.

Nice photos, Jo Ann and CC.

Has anyone ever saved seed from the Cosmos? This white one definitely has good genes.

Beautiful gardens, everyone! The petunia hillside is wonderful!

>>>>>>>Tee, you can save the cosmos seed, though you may end up with a different plant. I usually have a few volunteers of something resembling 'Sensation'. They're going to have to be moved next year though, there are too many roses in there now.

Found these hiding behind the melampodium, orange cosmos ( ) , and cardoon today.



.......and I'm thrilled!!! The frosts have held off long enough for moonflowers this year!

Yesterday morning there were eight of them opened up! Today only four, but still , I'm happy!






We had some servicemen come out today to find out if I can get *real* internet service out here yet..... no go - I can't even get what my Mom has next door. Still the same as dial -up.....and the wait continues....

lovely

cece,I have lots that are refusing to Stop blooming too,Loving it...Yay
Tee,nice blooms ,that knock out is gorgous

chelle,gosh we never did get to meet,im soo lame...Its never too late tho... Can you at least get Centurylink ?,thats what I have too ..faster dialup... better than the slowwww dialup....Id love to drop the land line,but we hardly get a signal for my cell phone ,its weird those dead spots.

I didnt take photos...I got the bed all done ,except for the few other things Id like to add.I planted New Mums,and replanted purple cones blackeyed susans,purple columbine ,bee balm,marconi shasta dasiy.

I guess its raining now ,thats good tho..Just wanted to play outside some more today.DH did the 2nd round of Walnut duty yesterday,3 tractor carts so far,yesterday we had to blow leaves before he could pick nuts...LOL ,we have a nut wizard what a Great tool .

Tamara, this is the faster dial-up! .......I think

Yah, same here. I feel your pain.

It's actually running pretty fast today......

In between DB additions I've been raking and bagging leaves - lots of leaves! Lots of now wet leaves! At least having them rained on will keep them stationary until I do get them all picked up or mulched.
