What did you do in the garden today?

I know this is off topic but given a new school year has begun I thought a reminder may be important for those with kids still in school. And for those of us with grown kids a fuzzy warm reminder that we’re done with it all.

Tried to count the dipping gourds now that the leaves are dying off on the plant and I can see them better. I think I have about 50 big ones. I’m going to leave them hanging there all winter and then in the spring give them to one of my daughters who makes them into lamps.

So our chickens get a daily treat of sunflower seeds, BSFL, blueberries, and grapes. Plus they rummage through the garden for tidbits as they free range. Should we consider them to be spoiled,?

Pulled more fall peas yesterday and that was about it. Today raked leaves and burned some yard waste. I actually managed to get a fire started.

Im just getting started here. The bugs and fungus have not found me to dash my dreams yet.

piko and Jack chasing the bumblebees.

wicking beds are awesome but first tomato ripe was starting to split. We had some rains but think I need to keep an eye on water level. Temps still in the mid 80s but cooling to low 70s in the early mornings.
Mosquitos are out. Dynatrap doing it's job! This is one night, one trap.

What a late, late fall we are having.

True here, too.

I'm really behind getting my stuff indoors that can't be left out for the winter. My lemon tree, pineapple plants, hibiscus, and mandevilla are all shivering... Supposed to rain all weekend so it looks like I'll be moving plants in the cold rain.

Oohh, cool.

Beautiful garden.
