Last year the frost hit me unexpectedly. It was my first growing season in the countryside, and I was still in what I sometimes call “suburban denial.” I thought I was safe. 😃
Our property is raised and quite open (amazing views of the fields!), so no, there’s no microclimate here. If it’s a cold night, chances are pretty good that frost WILL happen. Lesson learned!
This fall I’ve been covering and uncovering plants, trying to prolong the season for as long as I can. But the days are getting shorter and colder, and I need time to close the garden as well.
So tonight, I picked these flowers with gratitude, joy and a little melancholy, quietly appreciating and savouring the moment. If frost happens, I’ll be okay… 🤍
And if you’d like to enjoy some of these beauties too, let’s talk! After tonight’s fresh flower harvest, I’m also going to spend some quality time decorating the floral pumpkins for you. 🎃🌸
Hoping to post some photos tomorrow!
