  1. Hiya Dave,
    What lovely news.
    Congratulations. You will be short of leisure time now.
    And I like the presentation of today's GBBD post. Very original.

  5. Beautiful post… I don't know how you're able to keep up with all your blogging, photo-ing, outdoor work, etc. But I'm glad you're able to make it all come together – You do it all well. 🙂

  6. I hope to participate this year. The past two years I have been in Jacksonville and what tree's changed did so in December and they were not pretty. Of course we already have colour in Kentucky due to the drought and heat.

  7. Hi Joco and thanks! I've been very busy. Hopefully we'll get a routine established that will work for everyone!

    Thanks GIAS!

    Also the Fall Color Project will be whenever you fall colors are at their peak. Use your best judgment and post on it – just be sure to let me know when you do. Glad to have you aboard!

    Lola,

    Yes we have – although not as much in the garden as I would like. Most of those blooms pretty much take care of themselves thankfully!

    Gail,

    She's doing good overall. Tired at the end of the day. I'm not a fan of all day long kindergarten. When I was a kid it was half a day. She comes home completely spent. It makes no sense to keep children that young all day since they are basically worn out at lunchtime.

    SG,

    I'm very lucky to have great children and a great wife who let me do this stuff when we have time available. Once the shed gets finished up more I'll be able to relaxe on the major projects – at least until the garden fence and the…

    😉

    Sounds great Jake! Florida isn't well known for fall color – although I hear it does happen. A trade off for the warmer winters.

  10. I love the "postcard" effect of your photo groupings, Dave – a very creative and visually pleasing to show off each plant. And your sweep of caryopteris is gorgeous!

  11. Purddy purddy blooms Dave!

    I plan on participating in FCP again this year.

    Some of the kindergarteners who ride my bus sure don't seem to be out of energy at the end of the day. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they're more energetic then than the are in the mornins.

Good Advice: Enjoy it while it lasts!

Notes: The ‘Powis Castle’ Artemisia is from a cutting.

  8. What an absolutely wonderful collection of colour. It is making me quite envious. I have never seen a mistflower before. That blue against the muted green background makes for a lovely photo.

  10. Thanks for sharing your flowers for garden bloom day. I see that I need to give Celosia another look for next year.

    I will enjoy watching the progress on your greenhouse as I've got similar wishes…

  11. Great photos of beautiful flowers. Isn't it nice that the gardens keep flowering and now that it's September, there are other things to do… such as prepare for the Winter! Of course I'll try to remember to participate in your Fall Color Project 2009! It was fun last year. 🙂
