Hello again! Thanks for stopping by. You may remember that we put zucchini, pea, and green bean seeds in the first week of August. The beans are all now setting flowers and some beans are beginning to develop. The zucchini is developing fruit and we've already picked two that had reached a nice medium size. We should be able to pick the last of this year's vegetables in the next week or ten days. At that point, we will have reached roughly 200 pounds of produce from this year's garden. That's down from 300 pounds we've had in past years, but we deliberately cut back on zucchini and cucumbers this year rather than growing enough for the neighborhood!
Lois made a zucchini pie. You're seeing it before it went into the oven.
The last of the green beans for this year!
We've had very few problems with local critters getting into the garden this year. This week, a hungry squirrel caused more damage in one feeding than we've had in total all summer. I suppose it was after the butternut seeds. But we have been extremely lucky!
Hungry squirrel damage. Or maybe the possum?
And, finally, another sign that autumn is near...the chrysanthemums are in bloom.
Mums
Misty watching me in the garden taking a picture of mums which are just below him. He's a stray that calls our garden area home.
Time to go back outside and put a fire in the fireplace which is one of the joys of fall!
