Early Autumn Garden

 Flag flown in remembrance of September 11th


Sugar Snap Peas, the best winter treat.

Rainbow Chard

Romaine!


Dahlias and Coleus bringing cheer to the front porch.

I've also got broccoli, cabbage, radish, mixed baby greens, carrots, and spring onions getting a good start.  Late summer planting is so much easier.  The autumn here brings regular rainfall but still plenty of warmth to encourage quick growth (which means beating the frost in December).  Hands off is just what I need right now.

Wow up here in WY we aren't planting anything, just wrapping up our last harvest, hopefully before the first frost!
