Love the view of the garden and the house. 'Tis such a shame that soon the fosty conditions will reap havoc. Come next spring and summer just imagine how your garden will have grown.

We hovered right against zero the other night, but we escaped the first frost - barely. It won't be long coming, however.David M.

We have Oceanspray here and Mock Orange. Unfortunately my Mock Orange up at the cabin is being taken over by a fast growing cedar tree. Pretty soon it will not get any sun and die.

I am still amazed by your climate - like an extreme summer followed by a severe winter and nothing in between. Those aphids. Thought I was doing well with a decorative chilli plant grown from seeds in a single chilli brought back from Greece last year. Doing fantastic until I took my eyes off the plant and the aphids took over. Sprayed the buggers with soapy water and fingers crossed. Failing that there are chillies for seeds. <br /><br />And, we are off to Greece on Friday.

We have a purple flowering bush I thought was russian sage but now realize it isn't, and we don't know when to prune. We've had months of wildfire smoke now... and it went away with the snowfall but came back yesterday full force darkening the skies and making a code red air quality. Our small tomato crop is at a standstill after uprooting it to take in the garage for two days... the beans given up, the lettuce eaten by some enormous worm. And we're back to 90 F days. So your vista, with it's hummers, and fields of flowers was a visual respite for me.

Your Russian Sage is amazing, I tried to grow that years ago with not much luck. I love the bee balm too, have not seen that before. It is hard when you have animals who like to come and nibble on the plants, we used to have rabbits at our last place, they could clean out a garden bed in one night! Your wire seems to be working well. Great video of the butterflies and hummingbird.kiwikidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267387525703999696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-44950564773537387522020-09-14T22:24:21.664-06:002020-09-14T22:24:21.664-06:00Thanks for the garden tour.

Hummingbirds really love our bee balm. I can take very little credit for anything growing in our yard and I'm just happy it seems to come back in the Spring and Summer. Maybe by next summer our back yard will be all fenced in again. We are toying with the idea of meeting up with my brother and his 5th wheeling family at Lake 5 resort north of Kalispell the end of September. Just toying with the idea mind you. :) My brother's family is RVing the USA with their 2 kids for a year. Hope this new week is going well and that the smoke is not inundating your beautiful part of the world.ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-57828268553467724612020-09-14T13:31:37.299-06:002020-09-14T13:31:37.299-06:00This week, I have the butterflies and you have the...This week, I have the butterflies and you have the flowers.

Gorgeous plants and flowers. It is great you have so many different volunteer plants growing, the native plants like Paintbrush are beautiful. The coneflower is one of my favorites. I love the butterflies and the hummingbird videos. I am glad you blooms are hanging in there after the frosty night. Lovely images and mosaics. I am also praying for those suffering in all the wildfire areas. Thanks for hosting MM.
