Gardens at Coppertop

For record keeping, what follows is a running list of monthly garden activity I haven’t mentioned in journal posts:

• What a way to wake up! These September sunrises are simply glorious. early September

• Our white Rosa rugosa couldn’t be a more faithful, fragrant bloomer. early September

• Added various purple asters to fill gaps in perennial beds — Wood’s Purple &  Dragon Blue. mid September
• Cutting nice bouquets of dahlias every few days. mid September

• Harvesting raspberries again. Second crop seems earlier than previous years. mid September

• Hubby covered bare lawn patches with compost and re-seeded with a Northwest grass blend. late September
• We’ve enjoyed a steady supply of yummy cukes this year. late September
