november in the garden

aka Garden Bloggers Bloom Day or GBBD all over garden blogdom

The peas, cucumbers and beans are coming along nicely.

 

 

 

 

The purple coneflower continues to delight. Other herbs in bloom at the moment are tarragon and the pineapple sage.

 

I bought a red trumpet vine at the garden fair since the yellow ones seem so happy at my house. I hope it does as well. I'll hope for pictures of it in the future. It is not even planted at the moment however.

And speaking of the Mt. Dora Garden Fair, I got this blanket flower, which is just about spent, but I have been looking for one of these for ages. I'll look forward to more next season.

I also got this interesting yellow spikey thing that I have high hopes for.

The chocolate mint coleus is still blooming although it is an annual and well past her season. And I was delighted to see this rose bush put out tons of blooms the past month now that it has some sun again.

These four are steady performers year round.

 

Lastly, I want to share the Swedish ivy baskets that I got at the farmer's market at Renningers for $5 a piece. I have only recently learned that they are not Swedish nor ivy, but native to southeast Africa. Whatever...They are in bloom all across the front porch of my house and I am delighted !
