Ahhh August!

There is nothing more precious than Autumn in a garden, and ours is no exception! From flowers, veggies, blue skies, and garden visitors - we had it all this year.   

Forgive me for sharing so many photos - there is just so much to see, and I don't want you to miss a thing - so take a walk through the gardens with me once more.  





Pink Mallow blooms along the fence




Moon and Stars Watermelon blooming - will we see a melon later on? Time will tell! 


Scarlet Runner Beans 




We finally got peas, after replanting three times this spring! 




Boston Marrow Squash - how big will she get this year? 






Amaranth with Cucumber Beetles


Happy bumblebee in the Hollyhocks! 


The warm glow in these photos is courtesy of Oregon wildfires burning 








Cardinal Climber vine on the doorway arbor - these are some of the best photos I have been able to get of these tiny blooms (red is very hard to photograph with a digital camera)




August 12 & 13 the Interpretive Center hosted an art show held by the Three Rivers Art Guild  


We set up an Ask a Master Gardener clinic to answer questions and had a lot of interest in our seed ID game
