OK...I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. LOL
It's pretty...perform well for you?
September pix
Thats one does. I have another in a slightly different exposure, does not get the early morning sun ( the one in the pic gets sun until about noon) And is not so good.
I agree, I have mine in the same exposure. Sun all morning until about 1:00 pm, and it loves it! I think most roses thrive with that much sun, but not the hot afternoon exposure.
Nice flowers fancy, no wonder you won with such an assortment.
would you guys knew the name of this Rose. I got it from and old abandonned place, they were tearing it down. It has finished blooming, but had produce many blooms.
This time of year this ground cover rose is in full force. It gives color to the garden.
These Rudbeckia also give color to the yard, this time of year.
This candida brug is in bloom but frost is in the air, these days and have to cover them.
So is this Frosty pink.
Ladies you have truly grown some stunning plants this year!
Altagardner this thread will be bookmarked so I'll be able to print out the names of the hardy beauties here for next years purchasing considerations (thank you everyone :).
Well here's part of my pepper crop.........I think I have about 400 bell peppers to freeze this year (and a few other unusual varieties that may now have enough time to get to mature size and/or colour).
They are in my sink....still have to rinse a few more times to remove the sand and dead leaves (not a pretty pic but they sure look good, healthy, and some are 3 times bigger than what can be found in a grocery store). :^)))
and one nicer one (I'm sooooo proud of my crop this year :) and since it's going to be cut up shortly I'm posting their pics again. ;)
Pam
Those Peppers look great! Mine are starting to get color in the green house and I can just taste them already
Here is a Yellow Tomato that I picked today.

I've always admired the brugs but not had the patience.
I was tickled with my Salpiglosis this year. I put Chocolate and Kew Blue in one pot and here they are now blooming themselves silly.
Ann

btw - took a day trip to Edmonton on Saturday aft/eve & got soooooooo lost trying to get out of Edmonton lol

You should have called I could have given you a hand!
The colors are outstanding and it's hard to get a really good photo of the flowers. They really look like they are glowing in the dark!
I am saving seeds so remind me and I will share.
Ann
Those Salpiglosis are very regal looking Ann (sorry I missed commenting on this before) and the two varieties compliment each other very nicely.
Nice sized mater and very photogenic..... which variety is it? Did you like eating it?
Pam
Lynn knows which ones she started ....I was just at the receiving end of the free T plants.
It was delish! Firm and lots of flavor with a touch of sweetness. One slice covered the whole piece of bread! I have more coming in the Greenhouse so we will see if more than the first few are that large.
Ann
annabell That pot of salpiglosis, must of been a sight to see. Did you get any frost yet?
Lily wonderful pepper, I can just imagine the dishes you'll serve up.
We got a bad freeze last night, Most of my tender annuals froze, under cover. Last year it went till October, before we got one like it.
This Hydrangea bloom late this year but is still looking good.
burn,
How did that corkscrew vine do for you? Mine never really amounted to much; was too cold and wet here in the spring I think...
Joanne
Well it grew but never flowered, it got hurt by the frost last night. but I thing I can save it. I brought it in, and hope to over winter it. Our season is too short for it to bloom the first year. My sister got the other one to bloom the snail vine pretty flower. This is the flower on hers.
Cool - what a pretty bloom! They sure seem to be a bit of a delicate thing for our climate, maybe. Although we sort of knew that going in, I think. Thanks for the reply burn.
Joanne
Ann - don't know your ph#, so couldn't call you!
Grow-Jo - wanted to let you know that the cutting you gave me of the Cane Begonia is doing really well - nice and straight, and getting a new leaf. It's growing slowly because my house doesn't have a lot of natural light, but it's doing beautifully. Thanks again for the cutting :-)
Hey, that's great Tal-B! I was wondering how you were doing with it. Let me know if you ever want another one; I like to keep that plant hacked back to a reasonable size...
I would Love another cutting! s'funny - I was sent 2 cuttings via mail, and the one you brought me, but the one died (one rotted in the water) , and the other one is a mid-sized version. The one you brought is exactly right, and I love it :-)
-Susan-
ps: I'll d-mail you as well :-)

No frost here in Edmonton yet. some out of towners have been hit but so far we are ok.
Tallulah_
I will D mail my number so next time there will be a better chance!
Ann
altagardener~great thread, so many great ideas!
You all have such amazing gardens!
I hope you don't mind me joining in, even though my DG address is not Canadian - I am!
Up here visiting since August, and so enjoying the great weather for September! If ya all have any suggestions for my front yard (here in Calgary) I am working on changing it over from mostly lawn to mostly garden. I want to enclose it from the street with a hedge and will end up with a very shady area.
I did fall in love with this grass plant, on my walks, not sure what it is? Maybe in my side yard which gets more sun.
Also - If anyone could refer me to a good arbourist, my 50ft evergreen in the front yard is starting to turn yellow, in spots. I have never had this happen in the past, and am not sure what to do. Thanks
On a more fun note, here is a cheeky black squirrel upside down eating the Nankings from my bushes in the back yard. (Calgary)
I don't have any decent answers to your quesions, Gardnerkett, but am sure enjoying your photos. :D Looks like lots of fall colors already in Calgary.
Welcome to the Canadian Forum!
Thanks Don!
Such a beautiful country in the fall - a photo from last week, Millarville AB, my folks place.
Oh my, that is picture perfect, isn't it? Calendar/Magazine quality. Thanks for sharing. ☺
Hey Cath you still in town? ANy damage to your home from Ike?
Some things finally beginning to show their fall colors and maybe a frost this week.
Siberian Coral Dogwood, cut down last year and starting to grow up again.
One of the shade beds, now almost covered with gold leaves from the Tree Lilac
Burning Bush which does nothing much all year but is usually spectacular in the fall and a Euphorbia both just starting to turn red.
A different burning bush- I have several of these and like them all year but especially now.
I love Mums in the fall but have never had luck growing them and then discovered that most of those lovely great big ones were several smaller planted in a big pot and placed in the flower beds! This one was given to me a couple of years ago and always flowers.
I have several nice Asters but things were so late this yea with the long wet spring that they have barely started to flower.
Here's a pic at the farm NE of Edmonton.
The last cut flowers for the season. Frost is expected this week
Tidal Wave Petunias in St. Paul, AB (I started from seed) Grandma & the kid
Carol~No damage from Gustov or Ike - thank goodness!! Lots of damage around us though. The picture is about a block from our house in the south.
Your garden is so amazing - now moving into its fall splendor!
I have booked my flight back Oct 10, but we are still considering if I stay and oversee our reno's, or trust our contractor to carry on himshelf. I missed seeing snow last year and really think I can live without it another year....tee hee.
If you have time drop by and share some Cdn gardening expertise with me.....please:~))
Joanna~Tidal Wave is such a good name for your Petunias - those are stunning!
Are those cut flowers all from "your" garden? Wow!!
Unfortunately we had high tide during Ike, so that did not help matters. The Blue house in this photo had just a wonderful garden in their front yard, so sad.
