Front Garden in October |
Nothing much is happening in the front garden this month. It's recovering from the summer heat.
|
The Stumpery |
I tucked in a couple of the scaredy cat plant cuttings among the stumps; hopefully, they will grow and spill over the stumps. The rest of the succulents border is doing well.

The other plants are doing as well as can be expected and the pomegranates are ripening:

The back garden is doing a little bit better than the front:
|
The Back Garden in October |
The back garden gets watered more than the front, since I have the fruit bearing plants in the back.
|
Blueberry Bushes and Papaya Plant |
The papaya plant growing in one of the blueberry pots is making its presence known, but, I doubt if it will survive the winter.
|
The "Stonery" |
The "stonery" has evolved into another planting bed! LOL. M has been having fun planting various plant cuttings, bulbs, and seeds. It'll be interesting to see what might grow there, come spring.
In the meantime, the oranges are still a long way from turning color:

The peach tree is starting to shut down:

As is the nectarine tree:

But, the avocado tree is reviving:

The curry leaf trees are fruiting:

The fruits turn almost black when they are ripe and are edible (they have a taste that reminds me of licorice), but, they are generally not used, unlike the leaves which are used in our cooking.
And one or two autumn flowers are starting to bloom:
|
The First Chrysanthemums |
The chrysanthemums flowered in the late spring and we cut them all the way back at the end of summer. They are starting to come back up, pushing past the four-o'clock plants.
And the always welcome roses:
