Kudos to the foresters at the @cityofsaintpaul They are replanting the boulevard in my neighborhood and they are doing it right! Lots oaks for pollinators, planted in fall, and there’s a mulch moat not a volcano at the base of the tree. Yes! .

November has arrived with a cold thud: clematis flowers that look like an old lady’s wig, frosted sunflowers and ice caps on the rudbeckia. We’re promised a warmer day tomorrow (40 ish) then back to the gray and cold. .

Hitched a ride with my sister to the #tcheartball Great cause and they have some gorgeous flowers on the table. Love that this includes the dianthus we featured on the Northern Gardener in May/June! .

I was going for surprised rather than spooky. Mostly looks glum. .

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. .
