I can't resist one more photo of the Murraya in full bunches of bloom. I am so delighted with it

And now for something completely different. Fish skeleton at the lake beach yesterday. (Bluegill, probably.)

Nice one Beth There's one of those in the field entrance where I cook breakfast some mornings, why someone would dump a huge carp in the middle of nowhere is beyond me

Are those Kiwis @zigs?!

Ooops, forgot I posted the pics in here last night. Yep, quite a big vine, but I think they need longer to ripen, they're as hard as rocks.

I would say definintely the pumpkins look good around here, but they usually do. I am hankering for the leaves to change, it has just been too warm. It looks more like September 15 around here instead of Oct. 15. We need a good frost, or a hard freeze, and we haven't had either, although it has been chilly a few nights.

Same around here @kgord

Here is my beautiful tree peonie peeping through and there are 3 more buds. Very very exciting . So nice to be able to share this feeling with like minded people

What a difference a hemisphere makes, here's the Tree Peonie here today

What a contrast zigs. I thought my Peonie had died when i first had it when it looked like that . Luckily I didn't pull it out which was my usual gardening trick when i first started. Now I'll leave a plant looking very miserable until I'm sure it's well and truly gone. I was just pointing out one to a friend the other day saying I'd tried 3 times with this one plant and it had died so I was giving up. She pointed out new growth.

Wonder if the seeds will grow, there's only one plant, so I don't think it'd be pollinated.
