I have been able to do some cleaning up in the flower beds, pulling up the dead plants- not perennials, just some vegies and herbs that didn't make it thru August.

Found out that the Sweet Autumn Clematis I have had out back for 3 years will finally be blooming this autumn, it is covered with tiny buds. Really looking forward to that.

Pulled up the dead zinnias and daiseys I had left to go to seed. There are several new zinnias coming up and there is a really long, tangled Cypress Vine in that bed too. It is now climbing up one of the ladders I painted last spring. I never realized that Cypress Vine seeds were so prolific, haven't had one sucessfully flower out there in two years but the seeds from that last blooming plant still come up in unexpected places all summer long.

One of my Basil plants is coming back now that the weather has changed.

I also did some plant relocating out there. One Lavender was getting too much water where it was so I potted it until next spring. Found a small Snapdragon under the Lemon Balm so it is now potted until spring too.

Ah it's sooooo good to hear you talking 'garden talk' again Toni. Mother nature has a way of making sure that we gardeners never get TOO downhearted doesn't she?

I have a variagated lemon balm in my garden and I love the smell of the leaves - just like lemon sherbert!!

Working in the garden makes a lot of problems seem less important, doesn't it?
