Growing Seasonal

72 degrees, grey and occasional sprinkles fill this day.

And yet...

... it's a great day to spread Pansy cheer. (Wanna see more closely? Click on pic!)

Pansy is on the second set of 4 diamonds per row. Probably tonight she will have the first set of five across. Considering that these diamonds are smaller than the swatch, there will be two sections of 5 diamonds each, then the garter border and then..and then...the wedge!

Pansy is seen here on the mantle, perched on her cone of Bordeaux.




Before a storm might totally dislodge the cinnamon fern fronds, I wanted to share their multitude of Fall coloring.(Click for detail.)

Beside them this afternoon I planted the hanging basket of New Guinea Impatience...we'll see if they will make it through the winter.

And then there are the two parsley plants from a hanging basket planted in what is to become an herb garden. Also planted were asparagus plants/roots that a fellow driver gave Russ yesterday. No picture since it isn't really very exciting in October (as opposed t0o the garden planted in Spring) to see a little patch of freshly dug and watered soil.

You sure have made progress on shawl since the last picture. Can not wait to see it blocked and the great design showing more. It is in a great fall color.

How is the pine tree growing? Will have to wait awhile to se how these plants do.
