Roses - II

  This lovely tea rose (Agnes Winchel) has bloomed her heart out this year. And it smells as good as it looks.

Roses Still in Bloom

 

Some of the roses, this white tea rose (John F. Kennedy), are still blooming quite profusely. It's the miracle-gro that I fed them (fairly regularly) this year.

Signs of Fall - IV

  Not this big hummer. The large raywood ash gets full sun all day. I guess that's why the leaves are still green. The heat must keep the tree's sap running later into the year.

Tree-basin Edging - Progress

 

Yesterday, we finished edging the last of the Redbuds. Now, we only have to edge the large raywood ash and a circle of River Birch (baby) trees. In another week or two, we'll be ready to start hauling pea gravel to this area to cover all the earth (to keep out the summer growth of weeds).

Signs of Fall = III

  Even the Hybrid Poplar has begun to feel the cold, crisp temperatures (ha-ha) it was 90 degrees yesterday.

Signs of Fall - II

  The small raywood ash is shaded most of the day. Maybe that's why the leaves are already a deep claret color and beginning to drop.

Signs of Fall are strong

  The Honey Locust is yellowing quickly now and losing many leaves each day.
