Chill in the air...

Yesterday it was 85 degrees, but now I can feel a chill in the air.

Here's what I picked in the garden this morning. Before:



After (in my new bowl!):



Sedum is blooming. Can you see the two little creatures in this shot? (Click through to Flickr if you want to see where/what they are)



I hope this little sedum survives this winter, I do love it so.



Late summer rose is stunning.



Hydrangea with fall colors.



And September strawberries!

It's August?!

It seems to be a good year for peppers! This is a combination of our peppers and peppers from Common Ground Farm. I sauteed them and they are in the freezer now. We'll break them out later in the year to have with some onions and sausage.



I bought this coreopsis at the Master Gardener Plant Sale back in May, along with a catmint. The catmint didn't do so well, but the coreopsis seems happy!



This Mexican Petunia came from the same Plant Sale, and is finally blooming!



Steve's prayer plant has the most delicate flowers, so lovely!
