With the gorgeous mild weather we have been having, I was inspired to work out in the garden for some fall clean up. Much to my surprise my raspberry bush is giving us quite the show with it’s beautiful rust and burgundy foliage. I still have some mums, sage, carrots and beets in the garden.
I was able to memorialize our vivid and robust Swiss Chard from my last harvest. Next year I will include some of the recipes I experimented with.
Here are a few more shots of the last of our 2013 garden.
This fall we also had a burst of color from our asters, golden mums and deep burgundy mums.
Mums are such an easy perennial to grow to keep color in the garden till the end of the season.
As usual I get a little sad this time of year when everything starts to fade. There are always thoughts of next years plantings!
