It’s fall, it’s cool, and rebloom continues

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

We are in a cool front of three glorious days. will it last? Oh no, but I can enjoy these temps while working in the garden! I think our weeks and weeks of rain encouraged lots of rebloom.

Tangerine Tickles looks better on rebloom or perhaps it looks better in isolation.

Silky Twilight

The last bloom on the last rebloom scape of Heavenly Dark Matter

Indian Giver looked the best ever this year (although not compared to Sherry’s) and this is the first rebloom scape it has ever had

Spacecoast Bold Scheme lost in one of the huge lantanas

Memphis on third rebloom cycle

Battered rain bloom on Lovin’ Tennessee

Clownfish on first rebloom scape-also had huge proliferations

Just for fun-daylily bed in June…..

Which is a Zinnia bed today-Tangerine Tickles lost in the zinnias!

I showed the native American beautyberry in my last post-this is the hybrid version-berries are much smaller.

Sherry, I think I remember your discussion about Indian Giver reblooming last year because I was thinking at the time that mine had never rebloomed!

Julia, I am knocking on wood as I write but so far the Liquid Fence granules appear to be working! Fingers crossed for next year!

Mantis, I can honestly say that is one of two grass and weed free beds. I would be embarrassed to show the weeds in my other beds! After all our rain this summer, it has been a fight I lost long ago!

Here is Memphis today after a warm day-showing the ruffles although faded color.

What pretty group of rebloomers! Tangerine Tickles and Memphis are my favorites. The June photos are gorgeous!

I have a question about Gertrude Jekyll. I pruned mine after its last flush to about 2-2.5ft and it looked pretty tidy for about two weeks It's since put out a couple of basals and new growth that has to be 5ft at least at this point. Gertrude Jekyll on 8/2/16 Gertrude Jekyll 8 days later As you can see, my GT is looking kind of gangly - Clearly I didn't prune it hard enough! My question is is it necessary to wait until after the cane blooms to cut it down? This is sitting out in front of a window at my apartment, and is kind of an eye sore to look at, plus, I don't want to draw unwanted attention. If it helps to know, I'm in NC zone 7b. AKA humid and hot!

Ingrid, I am so shocked. You do have eagle eyes :) . I did not made that but order it Bec I wanted savory dish and I knew everything will be sweet. It was all gone and it was delicious made by the owner . I thank him for that. My favorite was scones with whip butter made with oranges skin and something. I will be getting the recipe next time. Vap, my friend from Pennsylvania made Pizzelle sprinkle with white sugar powder. It was the best one I ever tasted in my life. The store ones taste nothing like homemade. Mandy moved back to PA about 5 yrs ago. She loves to cook and bake. I called her Mrs. Claus Bec she is so kind, loving, big heart, Rosy cheeks and very, very motherly. Actually, everyone at work including guests thinks she is Mrs. Claus. I was reading on Souvenir Umi and looking at pics. I am not good in this at all but hopefully I learned to be skillful one day. jin

gsciencechick, my DD got an email from her school yesterday saying that if students choose, they can take whatever grade they currently have in a course or they can complete the work assigned and have the grades on that work incorporated into their final grade. She had come home prepared to write 3 final papers and probably will, but it was a great relief to her to know she had the option. ETA: I had this wrong. They are giving them the option of taking a pass (GPA neutral) if they choose. Some instructors seem to be giving students different options. My DH is not impressed that they don't seem to have a well-coordinated plan. Like feathers, we are pretty impressed with how her post secondary is responding at a time when many of the students are just focussed on packing up their lives on short notice and getting home to their families. My DH is an administrator at a post-secondary here so I know how much effort everyone is putting in to make this work. Thanks for all you are doing.

I have dark floors. As someone said, beautiful, but never again. Never. I don’t even have pets and I’m cleaning them constantly. And since your fiancé is arguing that you’re a neat freak and therefore is trying to talk you out of white cabinets, use that argument to get lighter floors. Now, onto white cabinets. Both white and dark cabs will show dirt. And I’m okay with that because then I know I need to wipe them down. But white will hide and dark will show are smudges. That’s a never ending battle here with young kids. Do what you want with that info.

Wow, Kate, it feels like spring again, so nice to see your rebloom! I love that photo from June. My Indian Giver rebloomed for me last season, first time ever. We are experiencing a few cool days also, in the 60’s til Friday. The good thin…….we finally got some decent rain.

Wonderful to see your still getting reblooms. Tangerine Tickles looks very good. Love the color.

The before and after garden shots really shows how the seasons change. Spacecoast Bold Scheme looks great mixed in with the lantanas. Enjoy the cooler temps and I hope the rabbits and deer are finally giving up on dining on your gardens.

Your garden looks quite weed free. It's been a bad year here for weeds. None of those pictured rebloom here (Memphis, Indian Giver, Dark Matter),

Wow Kate, so many nice ones still going! I have 2 small buds left on VT Sept Fires and that's it. Indian Giver is always a favorite of mine. Mine usually reblooms but oddly enough, though I had more reblooms in general this year, it didn't.

I love the June Garden bed picture. We need to do a post of garden shots!

Kate, what are the small purple blooms growing behind Tangerine Tickles. They caught my eye, but I do not know what they are and I would like to know . That is a beautiful shot by the way.

Both of your bed shots are really pretty! Isn't it amazing what all of the rain has done for the lilies? I see your plants are looking lsh and green like mine and it is unprecedented at this time of year. And I have more plants that have put up rebloom scapes. This is an unending season, isn't it?

Yes, Kay, lush is a good word for the plants! They look almost like spring plants. I have many more rebloom scapes popping up!!

Those plants you mentioned are just very small zinnias. As you can tell, I just let them dry and they are attempting to go to seed!
