Good morning. Another beautiful Fall day to work on garden removal, etc. At least the new lawns look great though I’m waiting for the water bill from hell. The weather has been so warm that the apples aren’t ripening fast enough for me. Applesauce will have to wait until we get back. Enjoy your...

Good morning. Prayers for FL, especially Sic and Sonya. Stay safe. Not too much going on here besides the slow garden takedown. Lunch with the gals, then more garden stuff. I’m sure I’ll be hauling lots of debris to the dumpster from the other gardeners. Enjoy your day, stay safe and healthy.

Good morning. 48-78F with poor air quality due to western wildfires. More garden takedown after a morning meeting. Thoughts and prayers for Sic and Sonya and everyone living on the west side of FL. This hurricane season is getting to be brutal. Stay safe. Enjoy your day as best you can. Take...

Good morning. 50-80F, I could get used to these temps all year round. Monday errands, coffee group, then more CG garden take down and help haul away others’ garden trash. This garden is so late this year that it’s sad to not have things ripen on the plant. Oh well. Have a great day and take...

Good morning. 48-76F and dry. More garden(s) take down, lots more to do. A trip is in the making for the middle of the month, so I’d better get moving. Not much is planned for today, a good day for rest. Still need to pick up apples for the compost. Have a blessed day. Take time for the pets...

Good morning. Warmer today, so more garden takedown at home. Alpaca poo run later today, then picking up neighbor’s dropped apples for the compost. It’s just a nice day to enjoy Mother Nature before the snow comes. WX says colder temps and less snow this season. Have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy...

Good morning. It’s 44F right now, so I’m postponing the CG watering for a few hours. Brrr. Coffee group and more garden takedown are on the agenda today. At least the apples like this weather. Glad to hear Sonya is home, Sic. Have a great day. Enjoy the weather you’ve been given - somehow...

Good morning. 51-71F, a nice change in the weather for one day anyway. Baby layette assembly plus a meeting this AM. The tomato plants for this year are a thing of the past, though I have lots of green ones waiting for a home. My friend made 12 green tomato pies from my fruit this year. She...

Good morning. 53-86 and very dry. Still working on the CG takedown, very slowly w/this warm, dry week. At home I’m hoping to finish tomato takedown and amass green tomatoes. The beans are doing well, so they’ll stay for another week. Sad, but really nice to see a partial empty garden. Have a...

Good morning. Cold front went through last night proving Fall is kinda here. 43F this AM. We have a few errands and then doing something in the home garden for take down. Hard to believe I still have green tomatoes in October. Enjoy your day as best you can. Remember those less fortunate.

Good morning. 53-88, cooler than yesterday, but no rain in sight. More take down at the CG planned, it’s nice to see the beans producing after the Japanese beetle ravage. Monday chores, coffee, doctor appt. All the best to the people in Helene’s path. Have a great day, no umbrella needed here.

Good morning. Close to 90F again, no rain in sight, but the garden seems to be loving the heat. More take down at the CG yesterday, then hauled the plants to the dumpster as we have a fire ban, probably forever. Nothing much planned in this his heat, though I am checking over all the garlic I’ll...

Good morning. 55-91F, at least we’re not freezing yet. CG to water and clean up, then to the ugh dentist. The garden at home still has green tomatoes while the CG has been stripped of plants - must be the elevation (?). I’m hoping to pull those next week. Have a great Thursday. Mother Nature is...

Good morning. 49-86F, warmer tomorrow. It looks like the eastern half of the US will be battered by storms this week. Batten down those hatches and stay safe. At the CG, the tomato plants are gone, but the beans have a new burst of energy with the warmer temps and no Japanese beetles. Those bugs...

Good morning. 48-74F, waiting for it to warm up a bit as the CG needs water. WX says we’re in for a heat wave for the rest of the week. Meeting after the CG, then I can work in the home garden. The new lawn looks gorgeous. Enjoy your day, get some needed rest. Pay it forward.

Good morning. The colder weather is creeping in with lows in the 40’s. At least it’s nice sleeping weather. Monday errands, coffee group, then more take down at the CG. Garlic planting time will be here soon enough. Have a wonderful start of the week. Take time for you pets and family.

Good morning. 45F with rain all night. We definitely need the rain. Plant swap yesterday was quite thin, but it gave us a chance to know these gardeners better. With the beautiful rain, we’ll just enjoy a few movies instead of the garden. Enjoy your day. Happy Fall.

Good morning. 48-67F, hopeful for rain this weekend. Plant, etc. swap today though I’m not too optimistic about any of it. We made Cole slaw from part of a cabbage from the CG, then I’ll cut up and freeze the rest later. Have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy the cooler weather and autumn colors.

Good morning. The sod is in, green side up, and our water bill for the next week will be huge. OTE w/the girls for lunch, then taking down more tomato plants at the CG before the rains come on Saturday. The landscapers had a tough time w/tree roots, especially in our tiny front yard - the autumn...

I’d better rush home and make sure!!
