Handmade Recyled Glass Flowers

10/28/2026

Delaporte Garden Glass Friends and Family it is almost Halloween! It is time to clean up the gardens and get them ready for the winter. I prefer to wait until everything had died back before removing the faded plants. But the is so much to do in my gardens, I have to take it a couple of barrels at a time. Removing the faded plants is easier after they are dried out. It also gives the perennials the most chance of survival having stored as much energy to winter over . A clean garden is less likely to suffer from fungal infections, pests and avoid rodent damage. I am still amazed at the plants blooming - especially the ones growing in the patio cracks - as you can see the snap dragons are still beautiful, the second blooms of the chrysanthemums are just coming into their own, and the last roses still are ready to open. I hope you are all well and enjoying the warm weather we are experiencing.

Delaporte Garden Glass Friends and Family, hard frosts have hit the gardens in Erin, and most everything is dying back. Here are a few pictures of the last beauties. The Chrysanthemums are giving their second bloom, after being cut back when their forced bloom faded in early summer. The roses are for the most part, done and soon to be mounded up with fresh soil (to protect from the freeze and over winter). This morning there was ice on the water and the hose was frozen. Today will be the last day for the water to be turned on. My Snap Dragon on the patio is over 5 feet tall and has brought many smiles to my face this year it will be sad to see them go. Sean has collected many seeds for next year's planting, and we have started some cuttings in the house of some of the succulents we bought this spring. I wanted to save the plants the cuttings came from, but bringing them into the house usually brings bugs in too. So I took cuttings, and put them in fresh potting soil, and will see if they winter over well. Here is hoping that you are well and enjoying a beautiful fall. , ,

Good Day Delaporte Garden Glass Friends and Family ! Hard frost and the water in the feeder had a thin crust of ice on it this morning. Leaves are falling and the garden is dying back. With this happening, the Garden Glass Flower Sculptures are rising above everything. The are glistening in the sun and add such beauty to a dying landscape. Just thought I would share, time to go rake! , , , ,

Another beautiful day at Delaporte Garden Glass. Hello family and friends, the lingering blooms are surviving through the mild frosts we have been experiencing. I have a feeling that it won't be long until the deep freeze shuts everything down, but for the moment we still have some beauty to enjoy. , , , ,

Delaporte Garden Glass friends and Family it is fall clean up time. I cut the clematis back that grows on the porch to the ground. Clematis only flowers on new growth. The veggie garden had the fall burn pile on it and I rake the ashes out evenly over the garden then rototill the ashes into the soil to help amend the garden. In the spring I will add peatmoss rototill again test the soil and adjust the ph level. I hope you all are well and taking advantage of the lingering warm weather. , ,

Delaporte Garden Glass Friends and Family, I know you haven't had a post in a while then today there is a flurry of them. I just wanted to state that beauty of perennials is not just found in their blooms, but can be found in the changes caused by the cold weather and frosts. Here is an example of a deep green Hosta changing over to yellow . Of course it helps to be shrouded in the falling yellow - white pine needles that are so beautiful at this time of the year. , ,

Delaporte Garden Glass Friends and Family, just a quick look at the snap dragons, a prolific annual seeding flower. This one adds so much beauty and will self seed popping up, only the lord knows where (which is always a pleasant surprise) or where you place saved seeds from the previous fall. Don't worry about planting these seeds they are hearty and easy to grow. , ,

Delaporte Garden Glass Friends and Family, here are some of the last blooms of the garden. The potted annuals, the annuals that have seeded themselves and grown up between the cracks in the patio, the clematis, and even the clematis seed pods are just so beautiful. But the hard frosts with take everything soon and everything will head to the compost pile soon. , ,

Delaporte Garden Glass Friends and Family, the last few potted plants are still showing some beauty and it is hard to say good by to them. However the potted plants can add to your garden when you are done with them. When the weather says, hard frost are coming, then it is time to start cleaning up. The potted annuals can have their pro - mix cleaned out of the plants roots and pot. This can be added to the garden, and in the garden pictured the provided an excellent medium to plant a new selection of bulbs in a new garden on the side of my yard. Don't forget to give your pots a good cleaning and store them in a dry location for next year. , ,

Delaporte Garden Glass Friends and Family, the beauty of fall is upon us. Indications such as beautiful sunrises, Aconitum (wolfsbane) and my gourmet golden Raspberries confirm that winter will soon be knocking on our door. Enjoy the sweetness and beauty, before we have to start shoveling. , ,
