Fall is in the air. No need to look at the calendar; there are signs everywhere.
Harvested at the end of July, my garlic has dried enough to cut, clean, and store. One drying screen almost done. One more to go.
Seed saving begins for many of my lettuces and leafy vegetables. This is Chinese Cabbage. Tiny little things, aren’t they?
This is one plant’s worth.
I like to collect enough seeds to also have some to trade on Seed Savers Exchange.
Some captured sunshine coming into full bloom.
Cait likes to grow these. Our birds like that Cait likes to grow these.
Then there’s the baking, canning, freezing. These loaves won’t last long enough to freeze. The ones still baking in the oven will.
With four varieties of tomatoes, there’s been lots of good eating. And there’ll be lots of sauce and sun-dried tomatoes to take us through the winter.
And last but not least, what more clear sign of Fall is there than this?
Except perhaps this.
Wow. Just wow.
Thanks for the photo tour. That was gorgeous.
WOW!!
Absolutely Beautiful!!

I love your garlic and tomatoes!
And again I am jealous. Look at that bounty! Those tomatoes are gorgeous :) And those leaves…I am eagerly awaiting the color change here.
I am so excited for fall I can hardly stand it!
My big boy tomatoes are just now ripening.
Color me jealous! Gorgeous, just gorgeous!
A bountiful harvest! Not liking that last photo though.
Gorgeous photos of all your hard work. I’m jealous of your pumpkins. Looks like you’ll be busy for awhile!
Thanks for the photo tour of your beautiful garden.
You must not be terribly far from the Matron or in a similar climate! I took some photos of yellow leaves today, for a similar blog post. Great minds. . .
You do have some beautiful bounty there!
WOW!!
Absolutely Beautiful!!
Thanks for sharing all the photos.

Great stuff :) I love this time of year. The busy-ness of it keeps me from thinking of what’s to come (I hate,hate,hate cold weather)
Thanks for the seed savers link,too!
Beautiful; and productive I might add.
