   Glad you're back John. Autumn is not complete without seeing photos of your garden. Yours remain to be one of the best autumn gardens I've seen. Thank you.

   I think of "amber waves of grain" when I see your garden. Thanks for sharing from the garden state!

   Hey John, my favorite is the last one of the Panicum. Have you tried to grow Molinia? Years ago my neighbor had Molinia 'Transparent'. It was spectacular. I see 'Sky Racer' all the time, but it can't hold a candle to the other cultivar. Haven't found a source for it. I took a tour of Kurt Bluemel' nursery in Baldwin MD years ago with the master gardeners. Definitely worth a trip for ornamental grass fans! He's still in business and has a nice website. Love your podcasts.

   I have two different Molinia - 'Skyracer' and 'Cordoba'. Both look good so far but need some more time to develop fully. I am all over 'Transparent' now, thanks for the tip!

   You've definitely nailed the autumn garden, John. Beautiful. Piet Oudolf would be envious.

   Beautiful to see this morning since it seems to feel like fall! We only have a few more days left of summer. What a wonderful world of grass and a natural style planting you have created! Love it! Thanks for sharing with us!

   What wonderful soft colours and you can almost hear the soft grasses blowing in the wind.

   Wonderful! Thank you!! What is the plant (purple berries) in the second photo?

   That is the branch of a crabapple tree.

    John, your Blog is wonderful! I took your expert advice about the principle of "Repetition" in garden design. I took out some perrenials and added more Caryopteris. The garden now flows much better and is more attractive. Thanks for sharing??

   Thanks so much Patricia! I think I finally grasped the idea of repetition this year and put it into action. Took me long enough.

    Hi, John, I'm off on a road trip and it feels strange for me the the last guest to arrive at the party. You know what a huge fan I am of your garden regardless of the season but, without a doubt, your fall grasses and other muted colored plants are in a class to themselves...so beguilingly beautiful. Love those delicate burgundy hues in your panicum rots.

    John, I've also been following your blog since the last time you shared photos; I enjoy it very much. Your posts about spring training camp with your son were very heart warming. Good luck with your current situation. cj
