the arrival of fall means it is time to plant winter gardens. last year we were lucky and had greens for the entire winter. these are various cooking greens, mostly pak choi and mustard as well as chard.
hopefully, our beans will make it through the first frost. we have never tried planting them at this time of the year. we also have one little roma tomato that never did much this summer, we planted it in a bucket late in the season and if we are lucky, it will set some fruit.
personally, i can't wait for the various lettuces and salad greens to grow large enough to pick. fresh picked salad greens can't be beat. the heat of summer kills them off fairly early here in the summer and i really miss them!
our new tenant, she has taken up residence on a garden post next to the bird house. she is a black and yellow argiope,
argiope aurantia. that fancy zig zag pattern was made by the male who is much smaller and was not visible on any of my trips to photograph her.
this is her from the other side, she didn't make taking her picture easy! it seems she prefers to show her belly and not her back!
