Hi all I figured I'd start a new thread for the new month! And since theres not always alot of new blooms this time of year lets get artsy fartsy with our pics and take some of changing foliage and seedheads or whatever is interesting :)
I haven't taken any pics this month yet so somebody else will have to start us off! hahaha.

September in the Garden
artsy fartsy? LOL!!
Now we got two threads called SEPTEMBER IN THE GARDEN!
Not complaining, just making a statement while I work on artsy.....
here's the link to the one that dalfrye started. might be less confusing to have just one??? Since she is a day ahead of us, her September 1st shows up as our August 31st. It is a nice twist since she is heading into spring.

Well, here ya go SW... I have a feeling there will be lots of September in the garden so I am gonna pop back and forth!
Thanks for posting the link Soils. When I get to dalfyres link, I will post SW's so incase someone is hopping like me!
Heres my grapes from the prairie! I get tons of vines for making wreaths out of these guys. They are however very puny and very sour!
I am planting some domestic blu seeded grapes up by the nursery so hope to have some bunches that will be edible later on. I know nothing about doing grapes other than I whack the ones in the woods back every fall and make the wreaths out of them. These in the pic are wild. They grow in the poor ground so that is probably why they are puny!
Oh dang, that reiminds me.. I have to start planting the new grapes...
So whats anyone doing now here?
Got my holes dug for my grapes.. im wondering if I should add some horsemanure to them.....?
Well, the hub says pour the manure on the grapes so guess I need to go get some.
This is sedum matrona.
Daylily proliferation
Rudbeckia golstrum
Some wild purple flower
Pink flower in prairie
EEEEEEEKS!
Get this blooming thing away from me!
send him my way, it is warming up nicely here after a chilly start.
he would be lonely though...
no snakes in NZ.
very few nasty biting things here...
Are ya sure you really want him? Someone thinks he might be a copperhead...I am not positive on the ID though! I would like to be sure. I dont handle sssssnaaakes very well. Snacks yeah, but snakes NO WAY! Dont care what breed they are.. to me, they are all nasty! They are eating my frogs and I am not likeing that at all!
Well, we outruled copperhead.. its not the right color.. but timber rattler still seems to be the popular vote. UGH!
Anyway on the brighter side I have worms...well not exactly worms! they are caterpillers blooming in the fall garden!
This ones a monarch
I have a few rattlers from timber rattlers somewhere that my daddy used to stop and kill along the road when I was just knee high to a grasshopper, will have to see where they got to over the years. I may have giving them to our son for safekeeping, hum?
Strange the things we keep and hand down!! LOL!
Well, SW, this is as "bruggie" as I am gonna get.. not a brug, just a wannabe! LOL!
(Hint... you wash with its byproduct....)
Ok, SW, heres your artsy fartsy!
