Can You Stand One More Trip Through The Garden?

My second planting of lettuce still looks good, 

but is becoming a titch on the bitter side.

 

The coloring on the strawberry plants 

could hardly be more in fitting with 

this beautiful fall season.

 

With all our rain the last couple of weeks,

these slicing cukes got away

from me.  These are so big they're

bitter tasting. 

 

I purchased a special packet of

colored gourd seeds that

promised a big variety of

different shaped and colored

gourds for my

decorating purposes.

 

Ninety-nine percent of them are

either this or the above shape.

(Yes, this one seems to be

growing upside down.)

 

Look at the mum sunflower that

just bloomed on one of

the stalks.

 

Our pumpkins are finally doing a

good job of turning orange.  

So far, names 

of four kiddles are

taped on ones they've picked

out for their own.

 

We're getting gorgeous red

peppers on our 

green pepper plants.

 

Last but not least, not in the

garden but cooling

on the back porch, is the 

first apple pie of the

season made with our

own apples.
