we harvested the rest of our winter squash today-carnival, sunshine, confection, bon-bon (aka bon-bon barnacle bubble butt). we mowed down the corn, the summer squash, the cucumbers!!! the tomatoes are looking wimpy and all of the beautiful flowers are gonners soon too. birchville is becoming a field of flat again. it’s all coming full circle. seems not long ago that we were plopping all of those seeds in the ground to grow.
it's not all doom and gloom though. our scallions and spinach are coming up and the showy fennel flows in the breeze. the dragonflies are everywhere, making the sky busy and beautiful along with the bees. the fragrant citrus of turkey mullein fills the air and praying mantis cocoons abound.
fall. new moon in libra. balancing act.
