This was the week to cut back the
perennials in the Gardens at Waters East. It takes hours and days, but always
happy to get it done. The next
step is to rake up all the cuttings from the garden rooms and move the piles to
a composting site. Lots of work
yet to do over the next two weeks.
Happy to have this much done!
While moving around the gardens
cutting plants this week, a few photos were taken for the garden journal files
showing some of the remaining blooms and sights. Here are a few from the work this week.

The autumn garden has its own beauty and yours is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThe cold is on its way south weeks earlier than average.
It´s very interesting to see gardening from a different perspective, an other place in the world. I like the touch of "every day life" in your blog. I live and work with gardening in Sweden.
ReplyDeleteClean up time here, too! But I don't have the spectacular views to share like you have. With all the wind this weekend, we probably won't have to rake many leaves.
ReplyDeleteMissed seeing you AGAIN...cleaned up some in Algoma, and finally divided humongous hostas. THAT was my gardening challenge this year. Hope to see you NEXT spring//summer!
ReplyDeleteNice that you still have some blooms. I have a few, too, but they're fading fast with the frost.Sounds like we'll all have a major cold front coming down from Canada during the next few days. Do you cut all your perennials back or leave some standing? I usually leave some, depending on the plant of course.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures!

Always, always - such a treat! A recent blog featured insects on the blooms and I loved it. It isn't only the nature shows on TV.....Your camera lens shows what my eyes miss.
