I new to your blog via Rhone Street Gardens and I really like what I see so I’m subscribing. Those hangeroners seem quite precious with the impending winter breathing down our backs.

Thanks, Patrick – and welcome! Those hangeroners were precious – so glad I shot their portraits because after a cold weekend, they’re goners finally. -kris

Kris, Usually my Middle Tennessee garden has more to show for it then a Rhode Island garden! We had your early frosts and you’ve had our late fall! Matt tells me that the 40mph winds in Providence more than make up for that! gail

Gail, Matt is right – those winds were COLD! And we’ve finally been hit – cold winds were followed by a deep freeze. -kris

You win…but I have seen some emerging skunk cabbage also. Kudos to you on the FG notes. Great!

Thanks, Layanee! (Was it a contest? – If so you’ll surely win for getting snow sooner!) -kris

It really has been a strange year (weather-wise). I’ll cross my fingers that your plants pull through and that next year is better, all-around!

Scott, I was amazed to see how many places are experiencing the same sort of lingering fall. So strange. I hope all is well with your garden next year too! -kris

Very pretty! I must get some pineapple sage for my garden next year.

Lea, that’s been one of our favorites for the last couple of years – a must have! -kris
