It may be mid-September, but here in Vancouver, we are having an extended summer š . Mornings are cool but days are sunny and warm and so my garden is still full of colors.Ā My roses are still blooming, so is my phlox, begonias, hisbiscus, trumpet vine, dahlias, black-eyed susan and some of my clematis.
As for my fruits, I have enough Asian pears and blueberries for the next three months. I have frozen most of my blueberries and wanted to use the rest for a recipe. Since I love making banana bread (I made this delicious chocolate chip banana bread a while back), I decided to add some blueberries. The result was a delicious and beautiful blueberry banana bread!
