November 17th Fall is really here!

It's been a long time since I last posted. The garden has been overlooked for most of October after Hurricane Irene and more recently the nor'easter in late October.  It was hard to see the garden under 10 inches of snow on Halloween.  Now, the snow is gone but we had some pleasants days during October. I was kept from the garden by some sewing projects and a back that couldn't do winter clean-up. I hope to get the garden put to bed this weekend since the sewing projects are in hiatus.

I'm posting some photos I've taken in the past six weeks but didn't have a chance to add to the blog until now.
