Hard freeze is likely this week, so this is probably the last photos of the season. Didn't resize everything, so will leave a link for you.

Thanks, this has been the best year I've ever had. It's been raining every 5-7 days, and it's really made a difference. With our recent heat wave, the tomatoes have really set on again, so I'm going to be picking green tomatoes tomorrow before the freeze, or cover them. Haven't decided what I want to do yet. It was 85 last week, and will be 28 this week!

Now that's what I've ben missing - piccies of your gorgeous garden!!! Sooooooo much colour and such a wonderful variety of plants. I've saved them to my favourites so that I can look at them when my garden dies back during winter. They'll certainly cheer me up.

I've said it before but I'll say it again, what a fantastic garden you have PianoLady! You must be the envy of your neighbours?

What an incredible garden!!! What a lot of work. Do people walking or riding by your house stop and look? They should if they don't. You have created a masterpiece.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I do catch people slowing down on occasion, but we generally have the same people driving by every day. I actually have another neighbor that is two doors down that loves gardening as much as I do. The neighbor between us hates gardening, a lot. So it's quite funny, and he's always got some snide remark ready, but we don't care!
