Can you believe that the Eastern Prickly Pear Cactus can tolerate winters in our Zone 5?
I'm concerned my loofah plant will not produce "loofahs" before the killing frost hits in October. I have shown you a loofah that I bought at the farmers market just in case.
September has been spectacular in many ways.

Welcome

Blogging has introduced me to a wonderful community of peers, and we learn so much from one another. I'm a New York girl decorating with MacKenzie-Childs one season at a time! I enjoy hiking, kayaking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the Adirondack Mountains (thus Mountain Breaths). I live in Upstate NY with my supportive husband and have three adult sons.

Summit of Rocky Peak Ridge

We are Adirondack 46ers, which is an organization of hikers who have climbed all forty-six of the traditionally recognized High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. We are referred to as 46ers. We completed the 46 peaks on August 26, 2000. Click our picture for more information.

September really has been beautiful as seen by your pictures, and it has been here too. That loofah is cool. Was it because you planted late that you may not get loofahs? I did that with hyacinth bean vine one year. I just stuck the seed in the ground....I should've started it as a seedling inside a bit sooner.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower photos, and I love the velvet pumpkin vignette! You and Xavier picking apples is a priceless memory...who knew you could grow loofahs, good luck!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Xavier's shoes♥And omgee your dahlias..:)♥
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing Xavier picking apples, and those shoes of his!!! Did you buy those?? My loofah is so crazy! I’m not sue that you’ll get any before frost.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Deb, your flower photos are exquisite! Xavier's little cowlick and his stylish Vans made me smile! You and Joe give that little boy such wonderful experiences. Making memories are the best gift ever!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
I spotted Xavier's shoes right away too! ♥ What beautiful photos, Debbie. I love those velvet pumpkins with your MC. We've had 50-50 weather here. Half beautiful and half rainy and chilly. We've had a gorgeous week but we drop into chiller weather starting Monday. As long as the sun shines, I'm happy :)
ReplyDeleteThe velvet pumpkins and Courtly Check are amazing together. Your September has been a beautiful one. So many lovely flowers and fun with your little Xavier. What a wonderful world! 😘
ReplyDeleteSuper September round-up! I love your little grandson's Courtly Check shoes. They are like Spicoli's shoes in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, LOL!
