Mornings have been a cooler with the fog rolling in each night. Today it’s still overcast.
I love lighting the first fire of the season.

A little shout out to #Greenstalk for saving my strawberry plants.
I was going to rip them all out for the fruit only being eaten by slugs/snails every year.
Instead, this year I actually got to enjoy a few strawberries!🍓
Now that they have established I’m sure next year will be even better 🌱

Thus far in October, I have planted cucumber, edamame, carrots, snap peas, bunching onions, bulbing onions, leeks, cabbage, lettuce, sunflowers; & transplanted peppers and mini pumpkins. 🎃
The cucumber is already pretty much over but it was good while it lasted!
Excited for my future bounty 🌱

The collected bones from three Costco rotisserie chickens means it’s time to make some chicken stock for chowder! 🍽️
Sadly only the herbs are home grown this time as squash doesn’t make good stock ROFL 🌱
But now I’ve planted all my aromatics for fall/winter harvest 🧅🥕

Look at this awesome guy!
This is why I leave the plants that look like they’re just sad aphid colonies because those draw in all the secondary biodiversity.
I get so much joy out of going out the front door and discovering something new. 🌱🦋🐞

I did not expect that the color variation in fruit on this grafted 4 in 1 pluot tree would be so distinct or so pretty! 🌱 🌳

We *intended* to get a trellis up but life happened
and now (a year or so later) the grapes are living their best uninterrupted life. 🌱🍇🍇🍇

Any idea what’s wrong with my papayas? 🤔
My hope is it’s just stress from being transplanted mid-summer. 🌱☀️☀️☀️

I have lived in that area and seen these workers out in the fields during rainstorms and during the pandemic.

FINALLY! First tiny signs of life from my pepper trays. 🌱
While the pepper seeds I personally kept from last year are already germinated and planted out..🌶️
maybe these purchased seeds are just old? That’s a bummer if so. I was excited about the new varieties. 🫑

I’m proud to have spent the last 3 years transforming 🌱 this back yard from literal bare earth 💀 to a lively place that feels like home to someone ❤️
While in the front yard, we always pass through a flutter of butterflies 🦋
Beautiful thing 😍
