02 November 2012 quick walk

Swiss chard and lettuce harvest continues.

Radish and spinach, nothing yet, but we have not given up.

 Will the Perilla return from seed? We hope.

 The spice garden.
Anyone need fresh baby cilantro, dill, curly parsley, sage, thyme, chives, edible mums, oregano, rosemary.... free! you pick!

Raspberry work

Tied up the tall canes to the trellis.
Three bags of chopped maple leaves into the beds.
Next year will be a better raspberry year.

Final harvest

Peppers, eggplants, pumpkins and tomatoes are done.

Homemade from scratch pumpkin pie.

Freeze

I looks like we had a frost while I was away last week, but it is 28 °F now and I expect most of the summer garden will be done.

The front walk

I am very happy with the way the front walk looks after the first year, entering its second autumn..,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frost!

First light frost of the season last night. Good thing I covered up the beds. Let's see if the tomatoes survived.

Radishes and lettuce planted a couple weeks ago are starting to look good.

The aster blossoms

Honeysong purple Stokes Aster has its first bloom on the coldest morning since spring.
