Planted 2 King Tut papyrus and 3 Augusta Blue Skies nierembergia, and weeded the front bed where I put the nierembergia.

In its own way, frost may be one of the most beautiful things to happen in your garden all year . . . Don’t miss it. Like all true beauty, it is fleeting. It will grace your garden for but a short while this morning. . . . For this moment, embrace frost as the beautiful gift that it is.

I’ve been spending so much time out gardening I haven’t had time to read all my blogs. I’ve been planting alyssum, nicotiana, verbena, superbells, petunias, zinnias (5 different kinds) along with all my veggies. This sure is an exciting time in the garden, I can’t wait till August when everything is in full bloom!

Turkeys are a lot of fun to watch.
Good for you that you have one in your yard.

That turkey showed up one day and decided to stay. We keep her as a sort-of pet. Sort-of because she’s not affectionate or interested in humans, but she’s interesting to watch.
