Fall is Falling

The leaves are coming down and so is the nighttime temperature. That and the disappearance of sun-dresses are almost the only signs of seasonal change. The fall garden is producing lots of greens and the spinach and sugar peas have finally come up. The leaves on the fig trees are looking a little shabby, but the fig tree cuttings in the greenhouse are putting out leaves.

There are 36 cabbage seedlings in the greenhouse that are almost large enough to transplant. 3 plants were purchased to provide a few cabbages. The ones in the greenhouse will be mostly for sauerkraut. The red chard germinated very poorly. It may have been planted too early. If seeds can be found I will try again.

Some cherry trees were purchased from Willis Orchards. They are really nice trees. They are being sprayed with deer and rabbit repellant every time it rains in the hopes that these won’t be destroyed like the last batch. All of the Stark brothers’ trees of last year’s purchase except one lived and produced branches and leaves. Of the three living trees all but one were killed by deer.
