September 30, 2007. A week into fall, and no real rain for a few weeks. The garden is starting to take on that home-stretch look, but fall cleanup is still a ways away - at least until after we get the first freeze. In the meantime, I decided to do some cleanup in the veggie garden, which is always a tangled mess by this time of year. I gathered up a sampling of the garden's offerings in the process - some (zucchini, pumpkin, beans, eggplants, popcorn, shallots) are the last of the fading crop; others (carrots, brussels sprouts) are just arriving; and the tomatoes and peppers are continuing their bountiful production as they have for some time now. In all, not exactly a family-feeding level, but it looks pretty anyway. |
