Bye Garden 2014!!

Yesterday, about 8pm on the 10th of September, we lost our 2014 garden. It started to snow. It's been snowing since. Not hard, but enough to pretty much kill all the annuals at least.
Such is the life of a Montana, indeed a Rocky Mountain, Gardener. Oh well.
Thanks to the hard work of Yokie this year, and the cumulative work of the past seven years, this was a banner year for the front yard garden. We'll remember the 2014 front yard forever, for sure, as our most scenic garden to date.
Luckily, before the snow came, a cool, hard, English style dew, and we got some cool pics.
See you next year!!




Didn't notice the spider until I loaded it. Cool bonus.
This is the Therese Bugnet, star of the garden this year.
Just love the Therese Bugnet rose bushes.



Our strawberry patch disappeared, but the accompanying borage has proven far more hardy.
What a great plant. These flowers are delicious.

Don't know the name of this bush, but the scent is maybe my favorite rose ever.
It's spicy, like peppery, with a wild undertone.

I noticed you were looking at my Orach. Wait till you see my tubers. . . .
