Well, since I am allergic to the hornets..I want to be safe. When do you expect they will have spent their time and are gone for sure? Last thing I need is a few of them biting me. I hate to kill them too since there is no need like as if they were in the attic of something, but these are out in the woods and I want nature to finish her course and get the nest after they are done. Once done, I want to be doubly sure none will be IN my home should we bring it indoors!
September in the Garden
Well anyway, did see some more really weird stuff in the woods today... a couple fungi!
another...
the mushroom was always invited to lots of parties...
he is such a fungi
Ouch BB, guess you want to make sure they have left the nest. Tim got this one that had dropped to the ground I believe. I don't really know their habits, perhaps best you google when they leave the nest.
LOL! Dont eat those mushroom... or all the "pretty colors' and a belly ache is your fate!
Speaking of fungi, wheres SW?
I think Steven is across the street there lurking behind his fence and just waiting for one of us to stand out front and scream and yell until he gets his butt over here! Now is that gonna be me or you BB?
yer tern!
Hellooooooooooooooooooo Steven, come out come out wherever you are!
I think Fritz got him in a closet....he can be such a pansy yano!
I just had to get in here and share my vigna caracalla vine, it is scrumptious. Not nearly as many blooms as last year, but even just one is magnificent in my estimation. Okay will quit going on about it!
A wee bit closer

Ok, heres some September pics... :)
All these pics were taken September 29th
partial garden shot
Cracker Jacks
Mums
Brugmansia
Evening Primrose
Malibar Spinach
Tomato
this was my favorite hanging basket. The alyssum grew massive and is seeding all over the yard so that makes me happy :) Better yet I grew it form dollar store seeds!
and last one, verbenea, more cracker jacks and clematis
Very colorful Steven. You are right that basket is very lush. What all is in that first one? I want to call them anemones, but not sure. They sure are pretty and brilliant display.
Very nice SW!
Thank you :)
In the first pic from left to right: Marigolds, Dahlias, Burgmansia, Zinnias and Black-Eyed Susan :)
By the way, the alyssum in the basket is called 'Carpet of Snow' incase you see it around be sure to pick it up!
here's a close up of Annabelle Hydrangea
That is my favorite ally! Looks like mine is going to be generous in seed too... I am leaving it in my window boxes and hope all I aaahave to di is water and watch grow next season! I had a bunch of annuals come that way this year!
I want to grow a lot of zinnias next season... gonna have to find a good source for a huge pile of seed! I am thinking my sunnies patch will be the zinnia plot.
Alyssum Carpet of Snow was one of the first things I ever grew...
I was all of 9 years old & dug myself a garden in a spare bit of space & used my pocket money for seeds, the other plants were Sweet Williams & a cutting from one of mum's daisy bushes. The daisy thrived on the horse manure I carried home in my sand bucket...
never took that to the beach again ^_^
LOL! Awwww!~
I love Sweet Williams, it is one of my favorite fragrant annuals....
hmmm that reminds me, must chekc whats brewing on the annual posts here! Was touring that thread yesterday and came up with some beauties!
I dont have far to go for horsemanure...which reminds me, I best get outside and feed those animals!
