Happy Tuesday

Checking things out outside before the rain this week and tidying up some.   Needs lots of leaf removal and will be working on that.
Plants that are still thriving are a couple roses.  This one I purchased from Walmart early in the season worked out pretty well. It wasn't an expensive one by no means.  I spray mine with neem oil and it seems to take care of what attacks them at certain times of the year.  So far so good.

This one blooms prettiest in the fall and early spring.



I purchased this one in late February this year.  Wasn't sure it would live. It was sold as a Valentine day rose in a pot with 4 others.  I separated them and most lived when put in the ground.


The crow looks a little silly hanging on the limb like he is.  Kids like it.



Halloween wreath.  Usually I just put on the door a leaf wreath of some kind.  The grand girls love Halloween so I made this one this year.


Had a left over skeleton head, so I stuck it in the flowers.

I am going to try and cook this pumpkin next week.  I heard these are good. Will see.

I feel I am really pushing it with this rosemary in the pot for several years.  I need to find a place to plant it.

I rooted this past season a few new plants and so far looking good. Behind this rooted rosemary cutting is a small lavender plant that rooted.

curly kale.  We will eat this tonight.

Spicy basil still growing strong. Very aromatic plant.

That's it for now. Happy Tuesday!
