My garden is a kind and forgiving creature. I spent 2 days out there in my Lara boots and got it cleared of all plants in the wrong place– as some wise person once called weeds.
This morning I replanted for fall. I am on the late side, but thought it couldn’t hurt– I had the seeds anyway. Beets, spinach, lettuces and mesclun, chard, brussel sprouts, bean and moonflower seedlings — think that’s it. It has been so beautiful here these past few days. It felt really good working so hard out there. Yesterday felt absolutely like fall in fact. I had that weird body-change-of-seasons-feeling. Odder than usual in fact. I cried alot of unprovoked tears. Was so tired and just sad, sad, sad.
I even built a stick -gym for my passion vine ( remember the butterflies host plant) 
which had THIS on it this am…
le sigh.
Other garden wonderment:
Yard long beans finally appeared in with my favorite fence-cover ( and one of my treasured plant names) Dolichos lablab L. or the purple hyacinth bean vine.
and some ethereal inhabitants:
and a basket of goodies
Loads of herbs too. Today we are drinking my continued attempt to match the heady experience of an elixir which is on the menu of a local restaurant–
Limeade, basil, mint and lemon verbena all blended up and icy. Yum.
More views from the garden another day–hopefully with me being a better friend to it– there will be many more baskets of goodness before winter!
juju was so excited when she saw the purple beans the other day….she has been waiting for them!
