I know I haven't been posting regularly over here this year, but I have been posting so that's good! Today I did a lot of work outside before taking these pictures shortly after midday. I trimmed the arborvitae out front and power washed the front of the house. We get a lot of insects and spiders on the front of the house, and their excrement and webs really make it look dirty so I wanted to clean it again before it got too cool out and before winter. Not ideal sun angles for pictures, but it's when I had the time so that's when it happened.We really haven't paid a lot of attention to the gardens lately. It seems to be managing just fine for now. The strawberry plants are all still alive in the east garden, and I noticed a random tomato plant growing in there, too. It's in the top left of the picture.
The west garden is, well, just is. The onions are from a poor batch of seeds and the herbs are all alive still. Before long it will be time to add the soil from the compost bin and clean them up for winter.
After the break is another yard tour. It is autumn now and the plants are showing the wear of a long summer and recent dry spells. This tour has commentary added to the pictures for context. Come along, let's take a look at our yard and garden as it is now!
It's all after the break, go on, click it!
