This kale is gorgeous in the flower beds, and just as pretty as kale chips!
More kale. I love the purple and wish I'd planted about twice as many of these. I'll be interested to see how they fare with a hard freeze.
Tarragon blooms in fall! Who knew? Leaves are tinged with purple where the frost has kissed them. Bumper crop for this year's holiday Bernaise.
We haven't gotten below 20 degrees yet at my house, so even the Gerber daisies are still blooming a bit, though their red is not as bright as in summer.
Also hanging on are lovely clumps of Sweet Alyssum, which will decorate rocks/overhangs until we get a truly hard frost.
Baby lettuces (all seeded by me from the summer's spent flowers.)
Broccoli in pot on porch.
After the crape myrtles flower, they produce their own seeds. This dry, tulip-shaped pod is what remains for the winter dormant season. I have learned to find the beauty in the fallow season, the fallow spot. There is always the promise of new life.
