October 22, 2022 Six on Saturday

Time again for Six on Saturday, with new host Jim at Garden Ruminations.

It is like a late summer day here, warm and sunny. The bees are flocking to the broccoli flowers that have survived the recent seasonably cold weather. I watered the baby trees and the natives to make sure the soil has adequate moisture before we get back to weather reality. Abnormally dry conditions have crept into Dane county, and we are expecting warmer temps and rain. I might just refill the barrels one more time!

The parsley is holding on and seeds are ripening – I took the pods from the milkweed so that they would not seed in places where they are not desired. I will separate them from the floss and offer them up to interested parties and/or scatter them where they might take.

Parsley is robust this year
A. incarnata seed pods. One has started to split.
V. hastata sead heads
Arbor vitae cones beginning to open up

Finally, the bright pops of yellow that Calendula is so generous with.

Hope you all are enjoying the winding down (or winding up, depending on your hemisphere) of the seasons!
