Fall chop down in the wild cultivated gardens won't even begin until winter has made a significant effort in getting the knock down started. Why would I anyway? There is so much still going on in the Tall Flower Meadow as it fades away. I would loose a few weeks of the time of vegetation by chopping it down now. The barren time will be here soon enough.
There is time before dinner. Let's go for a slow walk in a wild fading meadow on a beautiful fall afternoon. I don't go via the service entrance often, but this is a new season in the garden. Time to shake things up.
It's a nice service entrance.
The most recent connector path through the forest has been a much used big improvement. Editing 101 - Paths. Use them. Keep them open. For a gardener the rest will naturally follow. This section of forest is getting tidy.
The back entrance also has a nice view of the Great Lawn and lower half of the garden.
Stepping out of the forest I see Miss Collar has decided to join me. She likes an escort these days. It's scary out there with all the wild things.
Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light'.
Back in the forest on the other side, the Syneilesis aconitifolia, Shredded Umbrella Leaf, is holding its foliage well to the end.
Like most plants suggested for shade, more sun would do them good. They are doing well over time. They are not being robust in size or spread. I like robust. I lack the sun.
My garden really is amazing. I have been enjoying these early fall afternoons while the weather has been delightful.
Some people will get it.
In Ku'ulei 'Aina.
