One of my major goals in this topic area is to encourage gardeners to discuss what they are doing in their gardens and to share information and experience.

Autumn Crescendo
The music of autumn is played in a different key than that of spring. Although both begin softly and build to a crescendo, spring's song is sweet and high, while autumn's is a more complex ballad, changing key and rhythm as the music builds. Autumn includes the mellow minor keys, totally absent in spring, as well as a touch of melancholy among the brassy highs. It's a subtle season and spring is not. Spring's changes burst upon us; autumn's are wrought more slowly as our plants descend into winter's sleep. Lot's of images, so please be patient while the page loads for you.
