November... It's one of our best months for gardening. Summer blooms revel in the milder weather, cool season flowers don't wilt, and the veggie garden can be a mix of warm and cool season crops. Since we have a small garden and, anyway, summer crops were mostly a bust, we cleared our raised beds for fall sowing. As I mentioned in my last post, everything is coming up. 

It's likely that for much of the season, this gardener will mostly enjoy the garden from a distance. If it's crossed your mind that I might be trying to figure out how I can get out there and play, you either know me well, are a gardener yourself, or you're a keen observer of human nature. But even though I'd rather be out there in the middle of everything, it's still a thrill just to see our garden flourishing. And Joseph has agreed to take photos for me, so that we can all see what's going on.

For now, we only have flower photos. I admit to feeling a bit anxious about as yet having no cool season annuals. I bought seeds, but I ran out of time to sow them before surgery. I suppose it's not too late to do so? And while I didn't want to buy flats this winter, we could always pick up a few. Our winter garden would be so sad without some pansies, violas, and alyssum, at least!

What cool season annuals do you love best?

I'll post more photos soon. I'm very happy with the raised vegetable garden so far and want to show off all the sprouts! :)

Wishing you and yours a fresh and beautiful week ahead!​

    Our Garden

    For years, my husband and I worked at creating a series of gardens on our four-acre lot in a rural, Texas subdivision west of Houston. I have to say, it was a fantastic experience. Now, I have a pocket garden on a golf course.

    I’ve learned that a small garden is as much a balm to the soul as a large one and can keep the gardener just as busy. 

    ​
    While every garden is different, they all offer challenges, pleasures, time with nature.   Much like people, they have their good days and bad days, high seasons and low; and they can all be fun and beautiful if you love them enough.
