recent happenings

 travels and vacations had me away from the garden for much of september but i did manage to get a few shots taken.

 boy did things get away from us!

 the tomato trial ended at the beginning of the month.  the results weren't very promising.  i can say that it is easy to see why people choose hybrid plants over heirloom plants; yields and disease resistance.  we had issues with blight and root knot nematodes as well as a monthlong drought that made our yields pathetic to say the least.

 darry's big find in the garden-amanita phalloides

 this is one of the deadliest mushrooms around, don't even joke about eating it!

see you in the garden, come join us for cake!
