So far, we’ve had what I believe is an unseasonably warm fall. The tropical milkweed is still going strong, and the cleome is just starting to look worse for the wear. The bees are out and about: the bumble bees are tending my fall-bearing raspberries and they actually sleep in the flowers. Ben’s honeybees are on the milkweed, Russian sage, Montauk daisies, and remaining wild flowers. Here are some photos of the beauty of fall in my garden.
