Fall

Fall is here. We are working on putting the garden to bed. The nights are getting very cold and should frost soon. We still have a few tomatoes and the brussel sprouts. I have no idea what frost does to the brussel sprouts, but it will for sure end the tomatoes.
The pampas finally bloomed. Seems like we have a late one. When we planted the little itty bitty plant we put it next to our pond. And it grew. And then we decided we didn't want the pond so we re-landscaped that area. The pampas was too big to move easily. And while we have contemplated moving it many times or starting over...we just leave it. The birds absolutely love it. They hide in it and eat the seed when it is done blooming. So it stays and it is beautiful in bloom. I think next year it gets chopped all the way back though.
