It's time for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day again, but I still don't have much blooming. That's not to say that the garden is looking bad; the clustered field sedge and turkey-tangle fogfruit have certainly filled in quite a bit since last year. Of course, three of the shrubs in that picture from October 2010 are dead now (the blue elderberry, the coffeeberry, and the ocean spray), but on the whole, I think this October looks better than last October did.
