The Harvest Before The Frost

The cold would have destroyed the remainder of the crop, so the constant gardener went out and picked the rest of the tomatoes. Posted by Picasa

First Snow Of The Year

October 12th turned out to be a rather cold day. Among the cold gusts of wind were unusual fluries of snow that lasted throughout the late morning hours. We'd expect cold weather of this magnitude around the end of October, but this was certainly a surprise. Sorry, no pictures--there was no real accumulation.

Apple Tree

We bought it for $10.00 and planted it last summer (2005). We hope it'll grow some apples next year. Posted by Picasa

Canna

This plant you can see downtown in the mayor's planters. Posted by Picasa

Thistle

We have this all around the yard. It is a perennial that self-seeds easily. Posted by Picasa

We also have other herbs like Lemon Palm, Sage, Oregano, Parsley, and Dill. Posted by Picasa

Fish Growing

The two new additions to the pond are growing fast. The two new Koi we bought back in May 2006 were smaller than the commet fish, but now they're larger! See what happens when you feed your fish. Posted by Picasa
