Beautiful breezy September work party

A lovely breezy morning for being in the garden. Thanks to everyone who turned out for our Kits Garden September work party including a few of our newest members. A small but effective group that spruced things up for the gradual inevitability of fall. It seems like overnight the season has changed. However, our harvest continues with the harbingers of fall making inroads - spiders are busy weaving their webs... the chinese lanterns are turning a glorious orange and shedding their skins... the sedum 'autumn joy' are coming into their gorgeous light and deep pinks... and the dahlias are still cheery and strong.

This pretty crystal ball showed up recently in the garden... look

I thought the crystal ball looked familiar :) - Radicchio in east garden

Little B - our unofficial garden mascot - helping in the compost

Enjoy these still warm days and the visual and textural beauty of the seed heads and pods... for you know that at our last work party of the season in October it will be cool and probably be raining!!

A-dorable

 Gorgeous chinese lantern after shedding their orange skin - the seed is exquisitely within
