But much is left to admire for a while longer!

I always though of cat litter when I hear/say it too. <br />Thankfully we don't hear many leaf blowers around here and now all the birds are back in the garden it is delightful to hear them again.<br />Love the shot with the Titmouse - well captured.

I'm glad they seem to be making more sterile varieties now. I just love your pictures of the birds and the sunflowers! Most of my sunflowers are planted too far away from my windows to birdwatch. I get to see all the goldfinches hopping about my coneflowers and cosmos, though.Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-12540439719605952142015-10-17T22:35:03.840-04:002015-10-17T22:35:03.840-04:00I'm never in a hurry to clear away the litterf...I'm never in a hurry to clear away the litterfall. (I like that term and will us it now. Thanks!) Why rush around to rake everything up, when it will continue to happen for several weeks. Plus, we often have windstorms in late October and November that blow the leaves into the woods. Since we own the woodland property, it's OK! When I do rake, I usually simply haul the leaves into the woods. Any leaves that accumulate on my flower beds remain there as mulch to help protect the plants during the winter. I had heard about Buddleia being a problem in some areas of the country. Apparently, there's at least one sterile variety now that doesn't re-seed. I don't have any Buddleia in my garden, but the butterflies sure do go for it at the botanical gardens! Your wreaths and your white benches are lovely!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-17248472412770086172015-10-17T21:39:42.298-04:002015-10-17T21:39:42.298-04:00I have very little litterfall here.

The Sugar Maple has yet to drop any leaves but when it does I'll definitely have my share of leaves to shred and bury in the beds.<br /><br />I love butterfly bushes, but until you brought it up I had no idea it was no considered an invasive plant. Thanks for the heads up.Loishttp://theecograndma.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-58472465458513372152015-10-17T20:19:38.061-04:002015-10-17T20:19:38.061-04:00I've never, ever seen buddliea growing wild, y...I've never, ever seen buddliea growing wild, yet they say it's invasive. There's no way I can keep mine deadheaded, the big fat carpenter bees cover mine at all times, and I can't get near it! I enjoyed my tour through your fall garden. There is no litterfall at my house, the leaves from my small trees just blow away. I guess I should be grateful!

It's only once we've had rainfall and it turns mushy that it isn't quite so pleasing. Your yellow rose is beautiful, do you know what variety it is? I'm leaving my sunflowers for the birds too. The ones I sowed weren't very successful, the taller varieties didn't germinate and I only managed three dwarf ones, but I noticed lots of seedlings underneath the bird feeder so I left them to grow and they've been stunning. The birds will get many more seeds from the heads now they've finished flowering.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-48464936590330721212015-10-17T04:25:44.222-04:002015-10-17T04:25:44.222-04:00There are some beauties remain on your garden, esp...There are some beauties remain on your garden, especially the morning glory and cleome.

Now i added something to that, to photograph a lot of the scenes as well. At least your flowers are already past their prime when your winter or frost arrives, or else it is a very sad thing to see those lovely flowers wilt with conditions.
