The garden is beginning to shut down

by Tricia

It feels like it’s gotten so cold outside! I think that’s only partly true though. I’m sick again with fever and sore stomach so I’m just freezing, even inside my own home!

Looking outside at the garden that I don’t dare walk in when I’m feeling this cold indoors I can see that the leaves from the big maple tree have begun to fall over the lawn and garden, and some of my plants have started to die down.

Those that are shutting down for the winter include the balloon flowers and the Phlox. As I mentioned in earlier posts many of my flowers are still going strong, although I suspect they won’t be for much longer!

We still haven’t had any frost … or at least I don’t think we have, certainly we haven’t had any hard frosts, but I expect within the next week we’ll have our first. That might be the only thing that shuts down my roses! I swear they want to keep blooming and blooming. Silly plants!

Some of my visitors have mentioned in comments that their gardens have been hit by frost already. How is everyone else’s garden fairing this first week of November?

The Fairy Rose

If you don’t have a lot of room in your garden, nor time to give special care to plants you should consider getting The Fairy rose.

It’s a small shrub rose, only about two feet high with tiny roses that cover the branches several times each season with lovely pink blooms.

The only thing this little rose lacks is scent.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

Wordless Wednesday

I can’t believe it. With this extra warm October weather we’ve been having I think my roses are blooming even more than they did through most of the summer. The garden looks lovely.

We’ve also had a lot of rain in the last week. Much needed rain, and it’s really helped give the garden a much needed boost.
