A cool front brought fallish temps overnight and today has been great. It will be back into the 80's next weekend tho. The so dark purple they look black Pansies are looking good. This is my first year to plant them, I got 5 free at the garden center with a $25 purchase so why not. The Pineapple Sage is liking this weather too and smells absolutely fabulous. This a Swedish Ivy - Mona Lavender. Stunning bright purple blooms. Haven't gotten it in the ground yet, that should happen tomorrow. And my first bed with the Lemon Balm, Blackeyed Susan and some Daiseys that will be planted tomorrow. The green leaves of the Lilies are still pretty and I planted some blackish red ones last week. And I just noticed that the dad-gum stray cat knocked over my little sign while in pursuit of a bird...oh, I hate those cats.
I have pansies too in the garden at the moment and they certainly cheer me up when I see them. We also have a large variagated lemon balm and the smell of it is absolutely gorgeous.
Enjoyed the pics and I have stray cats in my garden and on my car with paw prints. Not a fan of the cat in the garden either. I noticed the stacked pots as a fountain. Will be stealing the idea and introducing into my garden ASP. Enjoy nature and enjoy life.
Everything looks great Toni. I love the Mona Lavender, it is very easy to root also. Just stick it in the ground and it roots and starts growing away. I haven't put mine in the ground, I think I will overwinter it in the pot and plant it out next spring.
I love the blooms they are so very pretty.I have some new pansies also .I bought them at Home Depot yesterday.I will take a picture show you all tomorrow.
The purple of those pansies remionds me of red wine :-D Lovely rich color on them. THey are such cheerful flowers. Thanks for sharing.
Those are some really nice pics,,lucky you can still enjoy at this time of yr. I'm curious tho, do you make teas out of your herbs,, coz that pineapple sage an lemon balm i bet would make a nice tasting tea. thanks for sharing Toni!
Things look good there. My pinapple sage was "murderized" by the big freeze we had last night. That red is so bright. Pansies are so beautiful. I would be lost in winter without them.
