We had frost last week, in fact we had several mornings with frost on the ground.
Most of my flowers now look like this, mostly brown. I'll let the zinnias go to a dried head and harvest them for next year.
But some are saying, "I'm not done yet".
The marigolds were from a free pack of seeds from the library. Our library has a seed bank. I'll harvest these dead heads too.
I love irises.
And my one house plant is saying, "I'll be there soon". I don't do so well with house plants. I think I over water them.
I kind of hate yard work coming to an end…but hopefully we will have more time to hook and do other fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteI can’t believe the iris is still blooming!
Sue, your line that some flowers are saying "I'm not done yet" felt like a small gift after those frosty mornings — and three blooms on the hibiscus is such a hopeful sight. I loved hearing about the marigolds from the library's free seed bank, too; saving those dead heads for next year feels like such a quiet, thrifty kind of faith. And I smiled at your one house plant promising "I'll be there soon" — I overwater mine as well, so you have my sympathy there!
