Our garden plants have done very well for our first year. I did redo a flower bed to make way for a red currant bush and move some hostas into a more shaded area

Our garden has a extra bonus with all the birds and butterflies that have been attracted, especially the humming birds.

Our garden plants that we bought this year have done very well and will be even bigger next year. But we have a lot of gaps to fill .I am already looking forward to next year.

We are now into September and our garden is still in bloom and the weather has been great even better then August. I am cleaning up some of the beds getting ready for fall.

September 25,2008

We have had a week of rain and there is a feel of fall in the air. Mornings have dipped close to 5 degrees C so gardening is coming to a end and clean-up is in full speed ahead mode. But as you can see there is plenty of color still going on.

We are fast approaching the end of garden for this year and I am a bit sad because I spend a lot of quality time out there. But I will start planning for next year and I am hoping to add a a lot of new plants to add more color to my beds. With the Kokanee running in our creek winter is just around the corner.
