The gardens are changing...the annuals' colors are becoming more intense, as they attempt to attract every last insect to do a bit of pollination before frost. Many plants are producing seeds, and some are dropping their leaves. Of course, some are just coming into their glory, like the variegated Joe Pye "Joicus", which is covered in white daisies. I'd sure like to get more planting done, but I have so many conferences and meetings this month that I doubt I'll get much done at the farm! I have been taking lots of lavender cuttings, and we will begin on the thymes soon. I can't believe the farm will be closing in just a matter of days. While the weather continues to be so nice, it doesn't seem right that our season is over!
