I saw a few trees beginning to change color and senesce on the drive home the other day and had a hard time believing it’s already September. How have your gardens done this summer, and what are you looking forward to this autumn? What sorts of cool fall flowers or foliage are on their way for you? What’s growing on with you all?
My experimental Loofa plants are starting to produce! They were strange - sent out female flowers way early in the season, then a run of only males, and now finally I’m getting a mix.
I’d like to try making some biodegradable sponges out of them.
After a month of neglect my garden is compete chaos. I am (more-or-less) fine with this. It is better to have grown and lost, than to have never grown at all. As they say. Or something like that.
