Garden Affair : Coolest Autumn of the Decade

 This year has been unusual in my region with unprecedented monsoon season consequently bringing drop in temperature in the Autumn season. While the beginning of Autumn season was derailed after extended monsoon season hereafter  we are almost at the mid of Autumn season and temperature is already drooping as early winter which is quite unconventional for this time of year. 

Garden is in the state  between   Summer and Early winter blooms whereas  summer annuals are still  blooming numerously early winter  blooms are already in full bloom

Garden Affair : Autumn Harvest

 Autumn Season is a transition season in my garden as winters will  be arriving shortly and monsoon season has  just  passed  thereby there is  drop in temperature consequently which is favorable for collecting harvest of summer and monsoon. 

Harvest season in my region here in the Northern India  is observed  majorly two times in  a year i. e.  Spring and Autumn , the summer and monsoon grown are ready for harvest and are available  till the end of Autumn season. 

Lemons are ready for harvest after prolonged monsoon season 

                                                             

Colocasia or Taro root is a  tuberous vegetable its leaves and tube is prepared to make delectable curry or even for snacks.

Winter is on the way

 This year Autumn is  bit cooler after unprecedented rains , the Garden currently is diverse with summer annuals at the prime of their blooms , buds of early winter blooms such as  marigold and chrysanthemums can also be observed, Autumn perennial flowering shrubs are filled with blossoms . 

  Elephant creeper blooming season starts in early Autumn and blooms remain till the beginning of winter season .

Bougainvillea blooms are omnipresent throughout the year in my garden 

                                         Autumn Garden is a mixed bag of summer and early winter blooms 

It was one of those fine morning this beautiful visitor named  Ruby red eyed Shikra visited my Garden .                                                                                                                                  

   

Autumn season

 

October had  begun with a rounds of downpour that brought down the temperature and had made the weather  favorable for the onset of autumn which is actually identical to  spring that comes after monsoon  for our region . 

                                                                                

                           The summer blooms and the blooms that occur due to transition from Summer to winter  helps Garden moving on to brighter days.                                                 

                                                                  

Autumn is a process of rejuvenation of Garden after summers and monsoon has passed away, formation of buds on perennials is ubiquitous into the Garden.                                                                         

Autumn is in general a best time to spot blooms from summer annuals and perennials . 

                                                                                 

I was fortunate to capture Greater coucal perching on Frangipani Tree in my Garden 

Garden Affair : Pink prevalent in the Garden

 We are into the October which had an odd  beginning with a round of downpour. October is generally time when weather is transitioning into the Autumn season. This particular year summer annuals are into their prime of blooming stage even in the October month. 

I never plan for my Autumn Garden as Summers here are harsh and  the aim to protect plants from harsh summer and the concurrent  monsoon is a priority. While the Garden itself is spontaneous to come into view in the Autumn after nourishment of  Monsoon Downpour . This year it  seems the Autumn Garden will bring the riot of Pink shades in for 'The Autumn Play '

Cooler Nights are coming

 

The temperature is on a dip spree in night , this indication of winter approaching was much awaited  for the garden after a tormented summer which we have seen this year .  

The Autumn garden is a mix bag of blooms and harvest. We always spent more hours  in the Garden in Autumn compared to whole year with respect to preparing garden for spring. 

Night Jasmine or Parizad plant choose the Autumn for flowering , The night Jasmine flower has fragrance that can make whole garden smells like perfume.

       Adeniums which are summer bloomers are unexpectedly   blooming more  in Autumn this year 

                                                                           

                                                                        

                                  It was after almost 5 years there is a bloom on Aloe Vera plant.  

                                                                                     

                                                                                 

Garden Affair : Pink Autumn

 Autumn weather brings cool breeze and the Garden prepares for welcoming winter , since we have mild winter the preparation for spring blooms is done in the Autumn till early winter. 

It is a bit of pleasant surprise in my Garden that the beginning of Autumn is ubiquitous  with presence of  pink blooms.
