This is my first year to try gardening deep into the fall, and here's what I'm finding when I tromp out to the garden--still in my flip flops, but through dew that is awfully chilly now! I find the green peppers still producing beautiful fruit...
...beans looking tired, but still productive enough to be left to grow...
...Second-generation stalks on the Brussel sprouts starting to fruit...
...late summer planting of snow peas rising up alongside the still-flowering tomato plant...
...chives in flower...
...and radishes in their prime.
As for the flower garden, it's still giving enough color to make mini-vase displays to companion the mini-pot winter herb garden, hopefully inspiring seedlings to spring up and grow hardy!
Initially, I'd count this first fall garden as a success.
Happy enduring life!
