Nice to see daylilies are still blooming for you. Asters grow wild here both the purple and a white with a dot of purple in it. They are just winding down now here. They do give a pop of color. I love the garden flag with the pumpkin design sitting in your very green daylily bed.

We are having so much rain here. Yesterday and today pouring rain which has nearly filled our wheelbarrow to the top. Pretty impressive amount of rain and looks like it will still be around tomorrow as well. Even had a thunderstorm last night. I'm glad to have the rain but geez, why couldn't we get this during the summer. lol.

What beautiful fall blooms.. I recently acquired many daylillies from a lovely older woman who had to bid farewell to her home and gardens.. I planted the lillies in a sunny bed and they are green and lush, but so many weeds are sprouting.. How do you keep the weeds out of your lily beds?

Julia - I have some wild white asters growing here in the backyard. They have very small flowers - less than a half inch in diameter - and seem to spread quickly. My daylilies in that bed have stayed green because I water it at least once or twice a week, and fertilized in late September.

Pine Barren - I mulch with both newspaper and pine straw to keep the weeds down.

Always interesting in fall. Debra: I can't believe you still have a couple of daylilies this beautiful unfurling. We haven't had any cold nights yet, but I know they are coming..........Asters? The parking is loaded with the short little weedy ones in the lawn. But I do grow some that look like yours Debra: "Raydon's favorite" is the variety. Easy care (except for the lace bug attacks on the foliage the first of every summer), aromatic leaves - love them.......Here's a picture of my late September planting featuring "Agapanthus Metallica" (lol). Can't remember who introduced me to them on this forum, but they get so many compliments and questions:.........Maryl

Maryl - Those are so colorful! The Agapanthus Metallica sure is eye catching.

Debra

Debra, nice daylilies! Great color on the Asters.

Julia, glad you got some rain finally!

I have a stem of Belle Isle Sentry with at least 16 buds but I will probably never see any blooms before the frost, which is quite late here. We usually get frost mid Oct. and none forecasted for the upcoming week.

Nice blooms, Debra, despite the chill. My asters are winding down, the bumble bees are still busy with them.

Maryl, I remember your agapanthus from last season, the blooms still look great ; )

Brad, hope you see the blooms on your new scape. Killing frost is a month late here. We had a low of 35, last week, it didn't phase anything.

Sherry - The bees sure do love those asters. I wanted to do some weeding around them this morning, but there a dozen bees working them. So I decided to wait until early the next morning.

Debra

It is supposed to be over 70 degrees Saturday thru next week; looking possible to see my Belle Isle Sentry .
