September in Carla’s Garden

Blooms and beauties of the end of summer

We ’ve been in Carla Zambelli ’s garden in Malvern , Pennsylvania , before ( seeHigh Spring in Carla ’s Garden ) , and today she ’s sharing how it looks inSeptember .

September is here . It has been a crazy summer , one full of unreasonable heat anddrought . It has prove both me and my garden , and I believe it ’s a prognostic of the succeeding and mood change . The weather condition this summertime hotfoot the demise of two enormoustrees . One was an ash , and while not one of my favorite trees , it was still a loss . However , and quite sadly , we lost my best-loved tree on this property . Her name was Mama Oak , and she was older than the American Revolution . She was a beautiful cherry oak and so very hard to say goodbye to .

Mama Oak is being chip at by artist Marty Long .

The carving are just starting to come forth from the massive trunk .

Meanwhile , as we had rain earlier this week , some flowers , like these black - eyed Susans(Rudbeckiafulgida , Zones 4–8 ) are recovering . However , it was also interesting to mark all of the thing that were more hardy than you would expect in utmost weather . I am look forward to the woods sculpture being completed and thefall planting , which shall commence shortly .
