My last zucchini plant wilted in the night which feels like a tangible sign of fall here on the Oregon Coast. Friends are coming to tour my garden which will be a lot of what it will look like rather than what it is. Even the stuff in the greenhouse is looking leggy or giving up the ghost. Perhaps time for a rest until the pre-spring?

Nightime temps are going down too low now.....my lantana has turned its nose up and said "see ya" (next spring - when I'll buy new ones cause they don't overwinter up here in the mountains).

It is not sadness. The plant in now in the composter and the pill bugs are munching on it along with other beasties in my bin. Should be soil and ready to start again in the spring.
Here there is a joke going around. Never leave your door unlocked in the fall. You will return home to see someone dropped off a load of large, extra zucchini's in your kitchen.

Where I used to live they sent the kids sneaking around with brown bags full of veggies to drop by the front door.... ring the bell and run!
Okay sometimes I stayed to say "Hi". But no refusals were allowed.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
