Ecological Gardening and Other Creative Pursuits
And suddenly it is the end of October! Time to get ready for winter! This post highlights what is blooming, fruiting, and transforming before our very eyes! It would be one of those “October Chores” posts, but instead offers ideas on what we *should* be doing if we weren’t so sidetracked by all the beauty around us!
I am always amazed at what is still blooming in November. Such gifts! The bees and other pollinators are especially grateful. So am I! In the midst of the leaf-raking season, be sure to take a break to smell the roses! Hope your Thanksgiving is full of blessings, your life full of gratitude, and your garden full of whatever it is full of. It’s all good!
We turn the corner into November. It is amazing how much is still blooming and how many fruits are still available! Here is a quick autumn garden inventory. Lots of pictures of flowers, fruits, fall colors, and cute grandkids – plus an amazing bald-faced hornet’s nest that was revealed after the leaves had fallen!
