The Last Summer Harvest

The sun came out today after what feels like weeks of overcast skies and rain.  It is amazing how quickly it pulled me out of my house and back out into the garden. I gathered up some of what was blooming and brought it in. 

My Pineapple Sage has been the big garden surprise of the year for me.  I had no idea they give these amazing red spears along with their delicious leaves. It didn't start blooming till the end of summer.

I started collecting fall planting bulbs for next spring.  Asher and I will plant them together  next month at some point.  I love it when it is the middle of winter and the Christmas tree is down and everything outside is dead, and I remember that we put dozens of bulbs in the ground.
