Continuing with Door County as a source of creative pumpkins, these three gents were playing cards outside of an Egg Harbor store. The wives were undoubtably inside the store shopping.

Double Delights (Egg Harbor, Wisconsin) is the home of this Geek Squad. This weekly series on what looks great in my garden on Wednesday really will have more variety as time goes on. For now though, the Dahlias are at their finest and I just have to give them their due. Here is a look at the main Dahlia garden, looking ever-so-full of flowers. It is now mid-October and it looks even better than it did at the beginning of the month.
They start blooming in July/August and go all the way to frost. You do have a certain amount of control between size and quantity. Removing some of the buds will give you larger flowers. Conversely, leaving all of the buds on will give you more flowers, and they will potentially be smaller. Look how many blooms are on the Kiara Pompadour to the right.
You meet the nicest pumpkins, I mean people, when you are camping. Mike and I were in Door County, Wisconsin last week for our annual honeymoon. Prime fall colors, prime fall weather. Both of which are so much appreciated when you are camping, even if you are roughing it in a camper, not a tent.
Sorry about the poor quality of the photo. The high quality of the idea still made it post-worthy. And now, to balance out for yesterday’s yuchh pumpkin, we have today’s over-the-top with beauty pumpkins… |
