Little Behind

Lower garden- limas, beans, cabbage

Well it's really Sept now, but I still have August pictures. So trying to catch up. At end of August, the garden is still producing lots of beans, cucumbers, yellow squash, lettuce, cabbage (one left unpicked), peppers, and a couple of lima beans. And of course, many weeds!

I did pick beans, cabbage, and squash before I left and gave some away and froze several servings. The cucumbers I put in a box with a free sign outside and they were gone quickly. Not everyone's came in this year, so hopefully someone is enjoying them.

The grapes are starting to turn and hopefully will be ready to pick when I get back to Va next weekend. There won't be many but enough I hope for a couple of recipes of jelly - we'll see!


There are still many flowers in bloom though some are what are considered weeds.. still quite colorful and beautiful.

The anemones (definitely not weeds) are just starting. Very pretty and have spread a little this year. The phlox are all over the place as are the goldenrod, a yellow daisy like flower who's name I cannot remember, Queen Anne's Lace, the ever present sweet pea, and chickory and other little flowers by the road.

There are still a few others things where blooms are just fading. There were actually a few days of no rain before I left.. so got some of the herb garden weeded and cut back for the fall. Pulled out a lot more of the dead tomatoes too but still one section to go!
