Monroe County Master Gardener Association

Here are some more great pictures from Gail. Sorry that the first one will not rotate for me. Enjoy

It maybe a day late, but some more great pics from Gail.

I also had a couple I thought I would share. I’m including an Itoh peony since our speaker at the last meeting discussed their development. This one is Kopper Kettle and is very fragment. Also, you will see a couple of Hellebores that I have in my garden. They were also some of the Bonus Plants she spoke about. Then just a few others I thought were interesting for fall.

Itoh Kopper Kettle

Here are the first of a series of photos sent to me from Gail. Enjoy!

Gail sent me these photos to post…look close

Did you see what she found?

Artistic photography from Gail They are beautiful and inspirational.

Gail was intrigued with the colors of this wasp on Naida’s raspberry bush

Naida’s gardens are varied and encompass the yards around her home
with perennials and annuals………….

Naida has a large piece of property but has very defined areas.
each serving its own purpose……………..
her veggie garden is a major impact in her gardening

the dog is a “new” puppy

MCMGA took a tour of Norma’s garden. Here are some photo that Gail shared of the tour. More photos to follow later of Naida’s tour. Gail explains that Norma uses a fork with a photo to remind her of what the plant looks like when in bloom.

Have been watching my favorite weather link – http://www.wunderground.com.
> Rain is predicted Saturday starting starting around 8am with greatest risk around 2pm but
> hopefully it will be spotty and the tour can go on. Realizing that
> many times it will be raining in Monroe, or raining at Norma’s house and not mine
> the following will be procedure for decision making.

I will talk to Norma about 8:15am to see what the weather prediction looks like,
>how wide spread, and what direction it is heading, then will contact Jennie
>to send an email to all members at 8:30am for a “go” or “no go”decision.

Thanks, Norma and Naida

PS – The tour will start at Norma’s home at 10 then head south to my home.
