Had some foraging fun with Lucy today gathering material for her pots. The best part was sporting our REALLY old blue down vests, though.

Autumn is as busy as spring in the gardens. Urban spaces may off the privilege of a later frost, but it settles, nonetheless. As I get the final weeks of work in, I’m filled with the anticipation of ending one growing season and beginning the next - all in one week!

From a feverishly fast-cut final bouquet before the hard frost, to the impressive change of lighting from the front maple as it turns a glorious golden yellow. The frost didn’t bother the sparse sweet peas, and I was able to squeak some bulbs into an unused space. I harvested a rogue turnip from the row of rat-tailed radish that will join some beets in a fall soup.

I look forward to drying the bounty of seed from a few whopper Costata Romanesco I let complete their lifecycle, and finally the excavation is complete on another boulevard bioswale to capture storm water runoff.

Whew! What a week it has been. As the last of cutbacks are completed, I pause and appreciate the bounty that comes from our little piece of the planet this time of year. I think autumn is my favorite season of all. 🍁🌾
