WxUSAF Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Goldenrods are blooming and many tree species are starting to show some color. Cool air coming in this weekend should help as well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrobjwa Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 So it has commenced, huh? And It's been a few years since it started this early here, hasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Doing a 10 day New England trip in 2 weeks to VT and NH, I can’t wait. 3rd year a in a row we’re doing a NE fall trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Leaves are changing here. Still mostly green but some color mixing in. Goldenrod is “past peak” for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Good colors here, but a bit behind for our annual Leaf Peepers weekend (although its falling on a date a few days earlier than average). Colors should be close to peak next weekend, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last nights 38* and several more forecast in the 40's for the week to come will get things moving in a hurry I think. Either way, has me motivated to sweep my chimney and get ready for woodstove season in a few short weeks. Beautiful today but too chilly/windy to zoom outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things will move along quickly now. Tomorrow I’ll be putting away deck furniture in the shed, chopping wood and getting ready for that too (which I love). That and heading to Firewater for a few cocktails haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is goldenrod a native plant I can add to my garden beds? I'm good with it self-seeding. I just don't want to plant something invasive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also varieties of tickseed which have daisy-like yellow flowers blooming now. Both native. I have some goldenrod in my yard and it will self-seed, but not overly aggressively. Goldenrod is an important food source for south-migrating monarch butterflies as well! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUsedToHateCold Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Hopefully this morning’s cool temperatures will help kick things off around here so our peak isn’t in mid November and I’m not cleaning up leaves at Christmas like last year.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Idk about the rest of the region but everything IMBY seems to be moving about a month ahead of schedule. My Dogwood started turning at the end of August and has quite a bit of red already. There’s a lot of yellows starting to show in the woods behind me as well. This was the first summer in a long time where we didn’t have approximately 40 feet of rain so that may have something to do with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 MD mountains halfway to peak per DNR. Consistent nights in the 40s (and 30s) is accelerating it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Definitely seeing some color here and there. I don't think there was any hint of it this time last year as we were in full second summer. Might be a 2 week difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the past 3-4 years it's always been pretty late in October (and in 2018 it basically didn't happen at all, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 The last 24 hours have seen the color explode in northern baltimore county. It’s a stunner driving around up here today running errands. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
