Heading home today after a wonderful week in Santa Fe. What an interesting area, with so many layers of history. We saw ancient Pueblo ruins, Spanish churches, a Civil War battlefield, incredible scenery and a couple of gardens. Fall is a good time to visit—not too hot or cold and check out the color on those Texas oak leaves. A big highlight was having dinner with my aunt and uncle in Albuquerque. But it’s time to get home and clean up the veggie boxes and other gardens.

I visited Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City in September. New blog post about this lovely mountain garden and learning to garden with limitations. Link to blog post in bio. .

My Meyer lemon tree failed to get the message that it’s fall and it is blooming like crazy now. Lemons do bloom off season so I’m hoping at least one or two lemons will be set. Meanwhile, I’m soaking in the fragrance. .

So this is happening. Snow on the marigold buds and everything else. Hang in there little garden! .

Dahlias and roses still blooming, fall color and some @mn_arb visitors having a snack. A fall day at the arb. .

Pineapple sage is a hummingbird magnet, but I’m afraid the ones around here have gone south or into hiding in anticipation of the first frost coming this week. But even without the blooms this salvia is eye catching in the garden. Chartreuse foliage at its best! May have to cover this up to squeeze a few more days of bloom and pretty out of it. .

Fall is coming and you can see it in the tips of the trees and the forecasts for frost. I love this view from the endless bridge at the @guthrietheater looking east toward St Paul. Atmospheric production of The Glass Menagerie is on the thrust stage now, too. Definitely worth catching. .

Quick recommendation for entrepreneurs especially in the digital garden/wellness/food space. This lady! She is starting a new podcast soon about how to grow a digital business. I’m still processing all I learned from her last year but I use it everyday. Check out her insta at @streamlinedandscaled for more inspiration and information.

Fighting off the gray gloom with one more favorite garden photo from this summer. A soft morning in Salt Lake City and a visit to the Temple Gardens with fellow @gardencomms folks. A lovely spot.

Another #summerfavoritephoto for another gray day in #Minnesota. This is part of the @ballhorticulture display garden near Chicago. Those coleus just shined in the tiers. I was thrilled to get a chance to see the garden with fellow garden writers. I’ve never been a huge fan of coleus, but now I’m rethinking. Also, sunny. Looking forward to the return of our sun. .

I was looking through my garden tour pictures from this summer and found some share-worthy ones. This one is from the master gardener tour in Rochester. Just the thing for a gloomy October day. .

Celine, cleome, let me count the ways you are the best.

1) You are an annual that thinks you are a shrub.
2) You live up to your common name: spider plant

3) All the Senoritas.
4) Looks good with salvia.
5) No deadheading. .
