The Knock-out roses are putting on another show with the cooler weather and they are just breathtaking. Adding a hint of red to the orange and yellows of the mums and pumpkins.
It's enjoyable to get out after breakfast and work in the garden -- starting to put it to bed for the season. A tidy garden in the fall means less work in the spring . . . . and soon, it will be time to plant that big bag of bulbs that are awaiting in the potting shed! This year I have lots of tulips which I'm going to plant in the bare spaces in the herb garden -- it should be quite a spring show!
It's Wednesday which means that it's time for Outdoor Wednesday with Susan at A Southern Daydreamer. Please join her and see what other amazing autumn outdoors there are this Wednesday!

Martha.....what a pretty garden. Love those fall colours. Where do you get the energy to do so much all the time..... thanks for sharing this.
The weather has been so different this year, the flowers do not know what to do. So they just keep on blooming. Mine are blooming more now than in the spring.

Beautiful!
Love the tour of your beautiful garden. I love the knock-out roses. They are preforming generously for you. I am the only person on earth who cannot grow these roses. I have killed four so far and I think that is enough. I am jealous of yours. Can't wait for the show of tulips in the spring.
Thanks for your visit and kind words this morning. We will visit again soon. Hugs, Ginger
It looks beautiful and restful and lovely!
Martha,
You're correct! The mums and the pumkins are breathtaking! What a lovely view! Tulips in the Herb garden? ? ? I'll be waiting for that show, for sure! This (almost) inspires me to get out~of~doors! HA!
Fondly,
Pat
Your outdoors pictures are so beautiful. Especially the pumpkins.
Hi Martha,
Just beautiful! your garden is still doing so well..how lucky you are..
Every year I say I'm going to plant bulbs..I love to see them in every ones gardens. Maybe for sure this year I will plant them..
Have a sweet day and hugs, Elizabeth
Martha -- you have Knockout roses? I am so curious about them -- are they indeed as trouble free and free blooming as claimed?
I need something to plant along the side of the driveway -- well about 12 feet away from the driveway, on a slope that ends in a stone wall -- and it gets loads of sun and is sort of out of the way -- I can't put something that will need coddling.
There's about 100 feet to cover -- would knockout roses work do you think?

PS LOVE your garden!!! So much color so late in the season -- good work.
I came looking for garden inspiration while it snows outside. I love your arbor, just beautiful. Have a great weekend.
