That’s good because some important tasks need to be done before fall.

Great list, as were the previous lists. A bit sad to see summer slipping away, but your list will have our gardens ready for the next growing season!
I know I think it’s really sad to see summer go but in a way, I’m ready for Fall…
In the process of doing some of this as next spring we will be expanding our garden greatly. Thanks for this!
No problem, can’t wait to see pictures of your garden.
Just beautiful. I am a terrible gardener, but this is inspiring!
With practice, I’m sure you would be just fine.
I love your photos! I leave our garden to my boyfriend mainly, but I still enjoy it very much. We grow vegetables and flowers.
Thanks, we grow vegetables also but it was our first year so the pictures are not that great LOL.
I have garden envy! Living in the Southwest our growing season is just about to start and of course the plants we can grow are different. Glad you had such bounty this year!
Thannk Valerie, just love my garden. It’s so pretty and relaxing.
You have such a beautiful garden. I’m so jealous!
Thanks Kira, it’s keeps me busy and it’s so worth it!
This is so helpful! I have tons of work to do in my garden! your plants are so pretty!
Thanks, I’m really happy it can help!
What a helpful list! I’m a total novice when it comes to gardening and it feels so daunting sometimes. But something like this could definitely keep me on track 🙂
Thanks Trish, the key is to do a little a bit a time so it’s not to overwhelming.
Beautiful! I wish I had the ability to keep a plant alive….lol
Thanks, I’m sure you can, don’t give up!
Chrysanthemums are so pretty! I may jot this list down for later.

I like the sedum flowers and hydrangeas. They’re very pretty.
Thanks they are. I also love their color this time of year!
I had to check out your past monthly posts for the tips and mostly for looking at images of your wonderful garden. I love the variety of flowers you have growing! Your photos are so vibrant! Your list of things to be done each month is also helpful. Especially for gardening novices like myself!
Thanks you so much. Makes me feel so good to get great comments like this. You just make my day! Really happy my gardening lists are useful!
Wow…I had no idea there was so much to do. Could explain why my plants/flowers don’t look as good each year. LOVE the photos of flowers…do you grow all of them? So pretty!
Yes I do grow all of them and it is a lot of work, but I find it relaxing somehow.
looks wonderful and the idea is superb!!
Thanks you!

Wow you have some glorious looking flowers in your garden! I’m in Australia, so we are kind of the opposite over here, it’s Springtime for us 🙂
