It's not over yet!

While I have been silent, the garden grows. The season has certainly turned, but that doesn't mean I'm done for the year - I'm working on my next harvest!


I've planted a whole new set of seedlings, which are slowly making their way to maturity. There's only one pepper left, but the carrots keep coming in from the summer. Most of the herbs are looking good still too - plenty of basil, rosemary, oregano and chives.

I'm most excited for the peas! I planted the same Little Marvel Dwarf Peas as in the spring, and they are blooming. I found a little trellis that's perfect for the pea plant vines.




Red Winter Kale, Purple and While Vienna Blend Kohlrabi, Cherry Bell Radish, and broccoli too. The seedlings are still small and I hope they keep growing for a full harvest! They looked quite magical this morning, with drops of dew remaining.



It's the time for lettuce and I have in the raised beds, in pots and everything I can think to grow it.




As the days grow dark and the air cool, pansies show their true color.
