What a season. I don't know about you but our heatwave gave me the best harvest of tomatoes I have ever h
ad... which is continuing to provide lots for the freezer! Along with zucchini's, the ubiquitous kale and red cabbages our '15-block diet' was a success. Oh, of course with a few retail stops at the fabulous new 'Jackson Meats' (love the chandelier... very NYC) and our beloved 'Capers'.One of our garden angels donated some more gorgeous flag
stones which has really made a wonderful impact around our tree-bench oasis... more beautiful blue mussel shells were added to the mix along with some diligent digging and setting of the stones.Check out the picture of the little fatty I found right by the bench - the little guy must have fallen out of the cottonwood tree as he was munching on a leaf. I looked him up and he is a Tiger Swallowtail butterfly in his (her?) caterpillar phase. I wish he would eat the whole tree!
The fall seeds I planted to provide us with greens into October and
beyond are already in full force and the dahlias are keeping us thinking too much about the cold weather to come. Personally I love the fall but since we had such a tropical summer that I was lucky enough to fu
lly enjoy I feel a little wistful seeing and feeling the fall calling.Happy harvesting everyone.
