Autumn Joy

Now that it’s officially autumn, I thought I’d better hurry up and post these photos before this pink sedum and this bumblebee, call it quits for the year.

Did a little weeding and planting on my pride and joy, and now I'm resting in the shade of my mom's car. It's warm and sunny today, and I have to be extremely careful not to make myself sick with physical effort. Some days are better than others.

I can't wait to watch my plants fill out over the course of the year. There's a barely visible baby agave in line with my foot that will one day be a bold vertical element. The prickly pear will grow as big as I let it, and be a twisting mass of pads. Maybe this year it will flower, and we'll have our first homegrown prickly pear fruit. In future years I'll learn to harvest and eat nopales, to keep the beast from consuming my garden. This fall, the big Autumn Joy sedum will once again make masses of pink flowers that will be covered in half a dozen different pollinators. The sedum Angelina already has to be knocked back lest it eat my gorgeous purple Sempervivum, and I've passed the curse on to @savethewailes . I strongly suspect that the stringy sedum (yes, that's what it's called; unless you come from a region where you're lucky enough to call it, apparently, "graveyard moss") will soon also need to be tamed back. In another year or two, I'll have sharing quantities of many more succulents, some I've yet to see in a garden store. Many of my own plants come from private gardens across my county, or have been mail ordered.

Plants tie us to the past and the future, to the people around us, and to the land and seasons. I know of no richer magic.

28th October 2023: Walk from Cadman's Pool in the New Forest and bits at home

Photos taken in this set: 1. Some of a fair few amethyst deceivers seen on the walk, a real treat to see one of my favourite mushrooms on a second consecutive Saturday such an alluring species. 2 and 8. Two of the many more mushrooms seen on the walk on another real fungi fest. 3. Autumn leaves in the sun out the front at home early this afternoon. 4. A nice bit of spurge I enjoyed seeing on the walk. 5 and 6. A Feral Pigeon seen from the back garden, the first I've seen in for a while always a nice bird to see come in. 7. Another mushroom, there isn't much of it left now but it could possibly be a violet webcap. 9 and 10. Views on the walk including the pool, a great walk to do as always taking in varied habitat and it was atmospheric in a fair bit of rain and with much mud.

On the walk I also liked seeing my first shaggy scalycap mushrooms of the year another target of mine seen this year this the place I first ever saw them two years ago, possible parasol, bleeding fairy helmets and fragrant funnel, gorse, heather, hawksbeard, possibly a thistle flower just about fading, rose hips, holly berries, chestnuts, lichen and a moth. Dozens of Chaffinches heard and seen which was a joy, Blue Tit, Robin, possible Redwing seen quickly and Mallards on the pond were bird highlights on the walk, with stunning views of a Kestrel nearby on the way on the journey here and a Buzzard soon into the journey back. The latter seen on the ground on some short grass as we have nearby before, something I rarely see for a bird I see so much so it's quite fresh I enjoyed seeing it fly too. On the way nearby also we saw pigs out for pannage with New Forest Pony and cow seen on the way too. A Little Egret in a field beside the road was another journey highlight on the way back with Goldfinch, different types of fuchsia, sedum and achillea other highlights at home today.

there's a little bit of winter weather happening this week, so I went out and took some pictures of various things in the slush... except I forgot how to work my camera, which is why the close-up photos are so bad.

some kinda mushroom

rotting log with a comical little holly shrub growing right next to it

some more mushrooms. Funny quirk with the particular camera i'm using is that the display is super washed-out, so i kind of just assumed they would be easier to see in the actual image.

lichen (?) that looks very mint-flavored

The Autumn Joy Sedum, also known as Stonecrop, is a symbol of resilience. It thrives in various conditions and is a favorite among gardeners and succulent enthusiasts alike. Plant it in your garden or a well-draining pot, and watch it flourish with minimal care.

July 2022: Magic Exists. You’ve Just Been Trained Not To See It

Sometimes moving an old pot reveals something cool: 

Growing up, a lot of the old folks referred to dragonflies as snake doctors: 

This little lady is bold: 

Hey, Pops: 

Ooh! You have steaks: 

The patio goddess just chilling: 

Moon obscured by clouds. They never delivered the rain they promised:

Spread Your Wings

Spread your wings!

Spread Your Wings Spread your wings! It may not be a native plant, but Autumn Joy Sedum seems to be irresistible to many species of bees as well as monarch butterflies. We do have a local native variety of stonecrop, but Autumn Joy Sedum isn’t a native to this area, in fact it’s a hybrid of two unrelated plants. Still, it’s good to see the native pollinators finding another viable source of…

Six on Saturday - Still No Rain - October 12, 2019

Six on Saturday – Still No Rain – October 12, 2019

Still no rain.  We are now over two months without precipitation. Our quarterly town water bill arrived. Almost $300, but I am hoping most shrubs, etc. will survive as well as the emerging areas that I seeded when we removed the raised beds. Despite what the weather people call a “moderate” drought, there are still things to see in the garden among the desiccated foliage . Several people have…
