Below is a short list of plants that began to bloom in my garden in Seattle in October 2011. I recorded the date when the 1st flower opened, not when they were in bud. I think this information is helpful in planning your garden. But I have decided to stop keeping track of this in the future. It is too difficult for me to be so vigilant. You can refer to past bloom times posts for 4 years this information. October 2011 was somewhat cooler & very slightly drier than normal. The average monthly maximum temperature was 58F/14.4C. The normal average monthly maximum temperature is 59.7F/15.4C. The highest temperature was 67F/19.4C, the lowest 37F/2.7C. We had 3.45 inches of rain, 0.03 less than normal. It rained on 17 days. There were 20 cloudy days, 10 partly cloudy days & 1 clear day.

Wonderful autumn images! Love the crocosmia especially...
Jordan, the information which you give just has to be seen as invaluable. Your October weather looks to be as miserable as ours.
