The days are a much cooler

and the nights are very chilly

 

but the pumpkin patch is still green

and full of pumpkins.

 

The Zinnias are still showing off their vibrant colors,

 

and there are pumpkins and gourds from the patch all over the grounds............

and on the porches............

I had a good amount of Fairy Tale pumpkins this year as well.

I just love these........don't you?

It is also the time for all of the other flowers to move into the greenhouse.

Now the greenhouse is full

with lots of that blooming Aloe Vera I told you about in my last post..............

some pretty dianthia............

and loofa sponge vines. This is something new I tried this year. I love it for it's vibrant yellow blossoms............

It is also growing outside on a fence. It looks much like a cucumber, however, it is from the gourd family. This loofa will decide when it is finished growing and then it's skin will turn completely brown and will crumble off. Inside there will be a loofa sponge........just like the ones you see in beauty baskets.

My perfect autumn front porch.........full of pumpkins and a sassy black cat ( Salem)

 

Now that my outside gardening has slowed.................I once again turn to my needle.........

I decided to make myself a cup of tea........

A few weeks back

 

while out on a pick, I spotted this wonderful garden arch way made out of old ornamental gingerbread. It is covered in lots of paint and I am now in the process of removing the paint, repainting it, and adding it to my garden. I will let you know more about this as time goes on.

So how about you??
Has the fall weather brought you chilly nights?

What is still growing in your garden?

 

I would love to hear!
