September garden

Our camera is dying, but managed to function for a few minutes today. We have another, but it has too many buttons. We are considering looking at the manual.

Savvy the sheep chows on horseradish and parsnip leaves.

Amaranth and the east corn patch

The dry beans

Amaranth and the north corn patch. We started this corn inside – some of it is 8 feet tall now.
Unfortunately, it's field corn, not sweet corn.

The cucumbers continue to crank out blooms and spiky fruit.

These purple snap peas will not die, dammit.

Peculiar volunteer tomatoes

That big cracked tomato must be 8 inches across.

C.'s Just Joey rose is going to bloom! It's in a pot, or it'd be in a gopher.

C. is having one of those days where she knocks things over every time she turns around. It's a butt-swing thing. Right now she is on a stool pouring boiling water on pickles in the little crock. I offered to help, and she said, "Hell, no!" I was a little hurt until she said she'd just manage to pour boiling water on me.

Five eggs today; six yesterday.
