The last of the annuals

We had a few frosts a week ago, but we put some of the pots in the garage and covered up some of the ones on the deck.  Tonight, it's supposed to go down to 26 so I cut the last of the flowers to bring in and cleared the plants out of the pots.  It's been a good gardening year.

The morning glories grew onto all the plants around them, including the tithonia and the cleome.  We couldn't cover them up so I was surprised they made it through the frost.

It's gotten more sparse since the days got shorter, but this African impatiens was one of the largest and densest we've ever had.

These African impatiens and nasturtiums were in front of the front porch.  I eat breakfast on the porch if it's above 54 (breezy) or above 51 (still).  They've been lovely to see every morning.

 I amazed that the tithonia plants have still been blooming this late in the fall.
