Tootsie, please don’t breathe a word of this….it’s the middle of October…and I have…are you ready???? Ripe Strawberries!!!
Aren’t they beautiful…
There are more hoping to ripen, but we have no sunshine this week…
One lonely Hydrangea bloom, not perfection…survivor…
My husband has decided that Black-eyed Susan vines are invasive…wow what a wonderful invasive…for some unknown reason these don’t have the “black eyes”…
These are in my weedy little garden…
The Black-eyed Susans intermingled with my potato vine…
Rainwater fills the birdbath…
The birds are gone…
Raindrops on the Nandina leaves…
Does anyone know what this little bush is??? If it’s a weed…break it to me gently!!! It has gorgeous berries…
Wouldn’t it be a shame if it was a weed???
…and a few “hopeful” buds…
The sweet Basil is still going…and going…and going…
Visit Tootsie for more blooms…
I am following http://imaweed.blogspot.com, contact her she is a specialist in weeds. She can probably identify that for you. Your pictures are outstanding. Is it your camera or your program?
ReplyDeleteI have those weeds in my bushes too.

Becky, your garden and your pictures are very pretty. Some things in my yard are still hanging on pretty well too. We are getting too much rain though.
ReplyDeleteI think Mother Nature is gone a little nuts this Fall but hey if these keeps up you can make some Jam. Amazing!

I love my BES Vine, it is a bit invasive, have to choose your sight carefully when planting it. That is Beautyberry, they grow everywhere here, some people enjoy the beautiful berries in their gardens..
ReplyDeleteOh, your garden is so gorgeous and I can't believe you have ripened strawberries. Obviously, no one is telling your garden the date, that is for sure! The black-eyed Susans are so pretty...I hope you keep them.
ReplyDeleteOHMIGOSH! Your mystery plant is a Beauty Berry!! I planted a wee little one last spring and fingers crossed it will survive. Aren't they gorgeous!!!?? The birds are spose to love them too. I have ripe Strawberries too! I just posted them LOL You are soo lucky or make that talented to have a Hydrangea. I keep trying & trying but they don't like me:~( You have a lovely garden.
