September 13, 2015 – The tomatoes may be done, but the garden isn’t finished for the season yet. I have one more cucumber out there, almost ready for picking, and there are still some peppers, kohlrabi, carrots, and beets that will keep going for some time.
I was at the grocery store this afternoon and picked up some fall leafy greens to plant in the planter box to fill the spaces where the tomatoes and some lettuces that had bolted had been taken out. A few new lettuce plants, some kale, and some chard are now happily bedded down. The weather has been nice and all of these things like the weather a bit cooler so I should get another month or so of greens and not have to resort to buying them from the grocery store for a bit longer.
When I was walking back to the shed to put away my gloves a spot of orange back in a dark corner caught my eye. There is a rotting old cedar stump back there; we haven’t taken it out because it is interesting looking and I keep thinking I will plant some licorice ferns on it. I hadn’t made it around to embedding the ferns, but something else was growing on it – a large and fabulous fungus!
You just never know what you are going to find in the garden 🙂
