september thirtieth

a deeper presagement of autumn has taken hold in the garden even since my last visit friday...the sweet corn'ss season was terminated by squirrels ( prove me wrong here if you can...but some critter nailed it ) and it is in nearly full fall mode..it will be around a bit longer as a motif for the season...the hopi blue has joined in and created a leitmotif of zea autumn...the cucumber wall, while still producing has seen lusher days and a longer view of the garden shows the effects of shortening days...the strawberries are still bearing fruit but if you look closely you will find a dearth of new blooms...a sure sign that their season is winding down as well...there's still a lot to do by way of fa;ll planting and preparing the garden for winter...more on that as it evolves.
