October Garden

     Just a few pictures of flowers and shrubs still doing their thing in my October Garden.
Dahlia Vancouver sure took it's time to bloom, as usual, but it is blooming now and the hibiscus still has a few flowers on it even though all the leaves have fallen off. The zinnias continue to amaze me even though they have powdery mildew. The cosmos are still looking blooming and look so pretty with raindrops or morning dew.

July Garden

     The weather in the first half of July was more spring like than summer but we have finally hit a stretch of summer weather now. Some flowers have completely finished for the season, while others have just started, like my dahlias. I grew dahlias from seed this year, for the first time ever. They were easy to grow but I wish they came in single colour packets. I only grew a few plants since my space was limited, so mine all turned out to be light pink and light yellow.  The two that I gave to my mother were red and yellow. There's also a new dahlia that I bought from the store, and you can see how the colour looks different depending on the weather. Feel free to ask any questions that you have about any of my plants. Happy Gardening!
