The garden Gods have a good sense of humor. I noticed this early this morning. The Green Man appears to be about to eat my Nightshade. Click for a better look.
My graveyard is filling in nicely.
The Oakleaf Hydrangeas continue to darken.
Soon, these Magnolia pods will darken and drop to the ground scattering their seeds.
This is the Nightshade's flower.
Nightshade aka Bella Donna is poisonous. But perhaps not for The Green Man.
And it's berries are eaten by the birds.
I could not get a good photo of my Water Lilies but they are all blooming right now.
And talk about plants replanting themselves throughout our gardens, look where my oregano now calls home.
It used to grow in this urn but decided it likes the cracks in my steps better.
And check out this Clematis. It has dark purple flowers, lavender and white all on the same plant.
The Autumn Clematis has put out it's buds and is ready to put on quite a display.
This spider spun it's web from the patio all the way up to tree limbs. That makes this web over ten feet tall. The spider is smaller than a dime.
And he is camera shy. He hightailed it up the web when I was taking his picture. Once again, we have tons of spider webs everywhere. This is the third summer this has happened and we have had two really strong winters. I wonder if this predicts another strong winter this year. I sure hope so and it could start tomorrow as far as I am concerned.
I harvested my garlic this morning.
I braided all of it and hung it in the basement. I love my homegrown garlic. It has a much stronger flavor than store bought.

I love your clematis plant. So wonderful to have more colours on one bush !!!
Have a magical day.
I would love to grow my own garlic, but don't have enough sunny area to do so.
My Clematis does the same thing. Multiple colors of flowers from the same plant.
Nightshade came up on its own two years ago, and now, despite me trying to control it, goes pretty much wherever it wants. I even put down barriers of multiple layers of newspaper with inches of mulch, and it still came through! And yes, the birds love it. .I guess every Witchy garden needs some nightshade. And a Greenman! Yours is awesome!
It won't be long, and you won't be able to see where your graveyard was! Good thing you took photos!
Thanks for the tour! Tell those spiders that bigger IS better!
The garden stroll was so fun.
Thank you.

Some thyme I planted at Mom's a few years back has popped up along the walkways too - those funny herbs, just making themselves at home!
I'm ready for Fall now too, and we haven't really even had much of a Summer. Going to dig out some harvest-themed items this weekend. :)
