Wish there were something I could plant, maybe those cabbage would make it up here. Pansies might work, too, winter ones. Fall is depressing to me here because I come from Texas. We have a huge splash of color in the summer months then it is gone. Your blog is giving me some ideas and hope.<br />Thanks, JennyJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275357518618379481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-7260362165655810072010-09-13T18:30:18.864-05:002010-09-13T18:30:18.864-05:00Thanks Balisha, I have had fun doing fall, gardeni...Thanks Balisha, I have had fun doing fall, gardening doesn't seem to end anymore.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-50851144690060711792010-09-13T18:29:08.307-05:002010-09-13T18:29:08.307-05:00Thanks Joey, but I just couldn't stand all of ...Thanks Joey, but I just couldn't stand all of my browning annuals anymore, so I went fall.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-38316488730866363522010-09-13T18:23:27.159-05:002010-09-13T18:23:27.159-05:00What a wonderful time I've had...looking at yo...What a wonderful time I've had...looking at your wonderful containers.

I must get better at this as I am manytimes content to just prune and plunk the flowers into a vase. For some reason, once they are cut, I don't see them as viable growing plants like in outdoor containers. Thanks so much for your compliments.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-6559272373222744522010-09-13T17:18:59.599-05:002010-09-13T17:18:59.599-05:00Hi Allan,

When I was a young gardener, gardening ended in September or October but now it goes on all year with the winter boughs and red ribbons coming out at the end of November.<br /><br />The photos with the mexican fountain and the ornaments around the pond belong to my brother's garden. My sister-in-law is a great collector and will love that you like her combination of color connections.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-87776946609116087242010-09-13T16:47:28.229-05:002010-09-13T16:47:28.229-05:00This is the first time in a long while that I hav...This is the first time in a long while that I have had an opportunity to linger at your blog to enjoy the fruits of your labor.<br /> <br />Clearly, fall has a different feeling in your gardening zone. Here in Montreal, its all about a sad,impending hibernation, while your garden appears to be entering its second or perhaps its third life.<br /><br />I noticed the New Mexican fountain when you first posted its image and was pulled into the photo by its intricate design. I went back for a second look today, because I am a fan of intricate design, and noticed that the shot was set up so that the blue in the fountain design echoed the blue of pond ornaments. That makes for a powerful photo that I think is worth entering into one of the many contest run by Gardening Gone Wild.allanbecker-gardenguruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249183285802762125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-61536596393795952422010-09-13T16:32:28.070-05:002010-09-13T16:32:28.070-05:00Dear Eileen, You have very clearly put in a great ...Dear Eileen, You have very clearly put in a great deal of time and thought to produce these very splendid containers and arrangements.
