The temperatures here are starting to drop a little and it’s the last day of September. For Colorado it can snow anytime. So, I’m harvesting the last of my tomatoes. The ones that actually ripen.

Well, Fall is definitely here. Not much is still blooming but what’s in my containers.
Thought I’d show you what’s still Bloom’n.
My black petunias. They are really a very deep purple. I love still. I look for them every year. They are very hard to find. I noticed when they come in they’re in very small quantities. These are a striped version. Just lovely!

Over the summer we have seen a lot of rain and that has had it’s toll on my tomatoes. They have suffered blossom end rot, cracking, and aphids (that’s another post for next time). I just came to a place where I had to make a decision to give up. After all there is always next year.
