OCTOBER 2013 avatar
OK guys & gals what will we have for the October avatar ?
I have some real nice butternut squashes turning golden
most of the remaining tomato plants in the glasshouse have golden leaves and delicious fruits.
So I offer " Golden October in the garden " in all it's various guises .

Great idea David. Unfortunately I don't have anything golden in my garden to share this year. But I will join in by using a golden pic to wish y'all a happy fall! Can't wait to see everyone's golden harvests!!!

These marigolds are about 3' high! Supposed to only grow to 18"

Great Idea! I can choose between a Dakota Gold tomato (if it warms up enough for a few more to ripen) or use a pic of the lonely, forgotten cuke!

We have the same delightful problem with all the flowers in MM beds , some of the gladioli reached a shade under 5 feet tall this year .southern gardener wrote:couldn't find golden, so yellow will have to do for nowThese marigolds are about 3' high! Supposed to only grow to 18"

your glads sounds beautiful plantoid! My flowers were not in MM, however, they were in my infamous, "pig manure" garden
