With fall fast approaching and some areas of the world already beginning to see the shades of autumn leaves appearing I thought it might be a fun idea to track where the peak colors are changing. I hope you’ll jump in and participate in this project!
Here’s the idea:
1) Take pictures of the peak fall colors near you and post about them on your blog. Be sure to tell us some details of where the pictures were taken and what kind of trees are pictured. It doesn’t have to be in your yard, just somewhere near you.
2) Then report back to this post and let me know that you’ve posted your peak post. I’ll link to your post so that everyone may enjoy your fall color display.
3) Be sure to identify your City, State (or province) and Country in your post and in the link.
4) Also please be sure to link back to this post to encourage others to participate!
In theory we should be able to follow the transition of peak times from far in the north to as far south as the leaves change color. Sorry to those folks in the deep south or in the tropics this is more of a cooler climate event.
I’ll post the most recent 5 blog posts in my sidebar with a link to a summary post that will include some of the details of each fall color location. All bloggers are welcome to participate, it’s not just for garden bloggers! So quickly go out there and take some fall color pictures in their prime before the trees get naked!

I really enjoy your site. You have inspired me to actually take cuttings instead of just reading about it. I have been cutting fool this past week. We live on 5 acres, and I just started landscaping this past year. We have a lot of room to fill! Naturally I think I have to have one (or more) of every plant I see, so your advice will save me thousands, (Plus it is SO FUN!) Thank you so much. Lynn in Washington state.
Lynn,
Thank you very much for the compliment! I’m glad I was able to encourage you to try something new. I know that I’ve had a great deal of fun making new plants through cuttings, not to mention I’ve saved a bit of money. With 5 acres to fill you’ll be busy! Thanks for commenting and feel free to let us know what your working on and how its going. 🙂
