It was warm enough for us to head out to the backyard at football halftime for pics in our Packers T-shirts and sweatshirts. :) I hope you'll join in the "Lessons Learned" meme again this season. It will be live on PlantPostings until Dec. 22.

It's been doing that here in Florida too. Love that contrast of the beauty berry and cornstalk. Thanks for reminding me about planting some bulbs. I think I'll try some here at the rental house.

We are always amazed at what is still blooming even following several frosts.<br /><br />Rose, we wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving. Many blessings!Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160202493785166930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-61272677238969399182011-11-21T15:01:07.048-06:002011-11-21T15:01:07.048-06:00Donna, The kale just looks prettier as the weeks g...Donna, The kale just looks prettier as the weeks go by--it will probably stay in its pot all winter. I planted lots of tulips--they may not last long, but I just love them. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!<br /><br />Sunray, Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Sarah, Yes, it's a bittersweet time of year, but I do like the cycle of four seasons. Besides, I need a break:)<br /><br />Marguerite, I thought the photo would look strange if I didn't explain it:) My garden is pretty much brown right now.<br /><br />Sissy, I have some cornstalks in my garage, too! The winds have been awful here at times, but the good part is that they blew away most of my leaves so I didn't have to rake.<br /><br />Kimberley, I still haven't potted up my geraniums; I'm hoping they'll last through Thanksgiving. Somebody got a good dose of antioxidants:)<br /><br />Skeeter, Even though I don't have much to show this time of year, Bloom Day does give me a nice record of what's going on in my garden, especially since I'm so bad about keeping a journal.<br /><br />Scott, Yes, I love the beautyberries; after admiring them for a few years on other blogs, I was glad I finally planted one.<br /><br />Shady, We may be just a bit warmer down here than you. A very happy Thanksgiving to you, too!<br /><br />Joey, Thank you! Time is sure flying this year.<br /><br />Rosie, I'm glad to know these are Cerinthe. I wonder if they'll come back next year?<br /><br />Liz, I had to use my macro setting to find most of this color:)<br /><br />Rosey, Hope you get all your technical issues straightened out.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-8888856681188273492011-11-21T14:51:08.893-06:002011-11-21T14:51:08.893-06:00Lisa, Thanks; I was surprised to find anything in ...Lisa, Thanks; I was surprised to find anything in bloom at all right now.<br /><br />Gail, I do love the 'Radsunny'--Knockouts are the only roses I'm brave enough to try.<br /><br />Jennifer, There's still time to plant bulbs! I think I picked the windiest day of the year to plant mine.<br /><br />Laurrie, Glad you liked the beautyberry photo; I almost cleaned out the cornstalks before taking it, but the wind kept blowing them back in.<br /><br />Linda, This is the first year for the beautyberry, and it's been a real winner for me. Wish I could say the same for a few of the other new plants I tried.<br /><br />Carolyn, The seedling isn't fleshy; otherwise I'd think of a sedum, too. Next month will really be a challenge!<br /><br />MMD, The weather has been so up and down, I'm surprised it hasn't killed some plants. I still have geraniums/pelargoniums blooming.<br /><br />NellJean, Alyssum isn't showy, but it's much appreciated this time of year.<br /><br />Frances, I've been working harder on including more four-season interest; thanks for the comment! Glad to hear the spirea is so hardy.<br /><br />Maggie, The colder it gets, the more vibrant pink the center of the kale becomes--too pretty to eat!<br /><br />Denise, You are right--it is Cerinthe! I know only because my best friend confirmed that she had given me some small starts this summer. I sure don't remember planting them:)<br /><br />Greggo, I'm hoping this Rudbeckia will come back or re-seed next year. It's different than any of the others I have.<br /><br />Tina, I do love fall, but my garden is pretty well done for the year.<br /><br />Sweetbay, I am crossing my fingers that 'Prairie Sun' comes back next year.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-40885001472266502442011-11-20T17:55:46.430-06:002011-11-20T17:55:46.430-06:00Sometimes it is so amazing to see what is still bl...Sometimes it is so amazing to see what is still blooming this late in the year.

They look amazing in the brown landscape of late fall. <br /><br />All of our Spirea 'Magic Carpet' are looking pretty, too. They make me happy this time of year.<br /><br />I agree...the kale should not be tossed onto the compost pile...it still has a big smile on its face:)<br /><br />Glad you got your bulbs in the ground.

I love those purple beautyberries, so well named. Magic Carpet is the best spiraea, by far. We have spread the suckers hither and yon in classic tightwad gardening mode.
