The first hints of gold and red touch the leaves outside my window. Fall has arrived even if I'm not ready for it. The marigolds look spectacular and I sigh with relief every time the frost misses us.
In other news, I am moving some hostas to make room for a swath of squill to grow through the grass in the spring.
The joe pye weed topped out at about 6 feet this year. I think the plants like this wet year.
The Sun Chips bag that I put at the edge of a compost pile in the spring is mostly disintegrated. The leftover bits looked a little like pieces of leaves. So it does work, but here in Minnesota it takes some time to completely compost.
