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.

I hope the vines did not freeze overnight.

Lawn mowing #9.5

Less than two weeks since the last time and only one half of the lawn area needed it.
Next time: save the clippings for the compost rather than direct mulching.

Garden pictures from today

Harvest time. Largest carrot I have ever pulled from the ground.

Last year's mum is looking great
