The Late Autumnal Garden 2013

Beautiful Fall Foliage from our Raspberry Bush

Our Raspberry in full fall color

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.

Fall Pink Mum

This fall we also had a burst of color from our asters, golden mums and deep burgundy mums.

Full of Color. Mums and Asters

Blue Asters and Golden Mums

Mums are such an easy perennial to grow to keep color in the garden till the end of the season.

Deep Burgundy Mums

Another Show of Color with these Deep Burgundy Fall Mums.

As usual I  get a little sad this time of year when everything starts to fade. There are always thoughts of next years plantings!
