Well dear readers, my gardening days are finished for 2019. Thank you left knee.

Torn meniscus. It’s really painful. More painful then when the meniscus in my right knee went a couple of years ago. And what is even worse is this is the knee that never had problems.

And the way our healthcare system works, I won’t even be able to get an MRI to confirm the areas of damage for days. The whole thing is a study in frustration….and some really wicked pain.

I don’t know exactly how I did it. I did plant a lot of bulbs and some witch hazels a couple of weeks ago. And it was a surprisingly robust planting season for 2019.

These photos are this week and last week. Fall is here and there is a different kind of beauty.

The trees are almost done and the colors are still lovely.

My Sochi Tea Plant is blooming! It’s so pretty!

I guess gardening day dreaming season is starting early for me. I don’t think I will even be able to use my leaf shredder to make leaf mulch.

At the end of my 2019 season I am pleased. In spite of obstacles it was a great gardening season. I did lose a small kwanzan cherry but it was a sale plant from Home Depot and I should have known better because they don’t take great care of their plants.

I will check in here and there with any gardening related things that strike my fancy!

Thanks for stopping by.
