I saw a really pretty autumn planter box at a local restaurant and wanted to remember it for next year. Could even plant a pumpkin instead of the ivy so the gourd components would be live.

Phlox
We have wild phlox that is purple and we have wild phlox that is white. But every now and again we get one that is white with purple stripes, and I love those. Anya dug this one up from the field and planted it in my bee garden last year, and it is huge this year. And still has the striped flowers that I love!
Daffodils!
While we were swapping out sap buckets today, Anya noticed our first daffodils in bloom!
First Crocus Flowers of 2024
The crocus flowers are starting to pop up around the lawn. White ones
Yellow ones

Tulips are blooming
The old school (like before the Netherlands started selectively breeding them) tulips are blooming!
First Daffodils!
We have our first daffodil blooms of the year — Anya noticed some of the little ones by the detached garage had bloomed. There are a few larger ones in the same area that flowered.
Purple Crocus Blooms
The deep purple crocus are starting to bloom — and daffodils are popping up all over the place, so we should have all sorts of flowers soon.
First Crocus Flowers – 2023
Calendula Bloom
The calendulas that Anya planted in the raised bed blocks are blooming — beautiful, large flowers:
Crocus Time
Crocus flowers are starting to sprout up around the yard — years ago, Anya and I planted crocus bulbs randomly throughout the front yard. Some have split into three or four plants already, and some are still single little flowers. We’ve even got some sprouting up elsewhere — maybe they’re spreading seeds too?
