October is just beginning to be chilly, but the garden doesn't notice.

Green tomatoes continue to ripen, the tuberoses I planted in pots in May are 3 feet tall and trying to bloom.

And the morning glories growing up twine on my screen porch have filled in and are going nuts. Nasturtiums in the earth near them hitched a ride on them, and the combination of the "heavenly blue" of today's morning glories, the magenta of yesterday's faded blooms and the spots of red-orange nasturtiums really works.

I hadn't planned it that way. Most of my nasturtiums trail along the ground, but these grabbed on and climbed. It's something to remember for next year.
