Marsha's Garden Blog: First Frost

Welcome To My Garden Blog…

Working in the garden, looking and admiring nature, watching how organisms interact all feed my inner being. Getting my hands into the soil connects me with the earth.

This is probably why I am so drawn to work in clay (porcelain and other earth clays).

Here in my Mid-Atlantic, US garden, which is considered Hardiness Zone 7A by the USDA, Spring is here and will soon be coming to a close.

I have cleared most of the Coneflowers and Black Eyed Susans that had Aster yellows and am keeping a close eye for other plants showing symptoms this year.

I am delighted to say that I am again, falling in love with my garden. 2011 growing season stuck a fork right through my heart, and I am happy it is now in the past and nature is taking her turn at moving things forward into the 2012 growing season...

First Frost

It has happened...
The first frost for Fall 2010 has happened this morning...

A lone pansy in amongst some frosty greens...

Wall of Nasturtiums has started to droop (and smell like rotting plants)...

Milkweed seeds were scattered, frozen into place until the sun melts the frost...

Delicate frozen edges...

And Milkweed pods that are letting go the last of their seeds...

All taken this morning on my way home from voting on this Election Day...

Our first frost was a couple of weeks ago in central Indiana. I guess winter is on the way now.
