For My Brother

My brother would like to know when his radish and lettuce are ready to be harvested.  Here are some pictures for him:

Not Ready

Lettuce, too little.

Radish, not quite ready.  

Ready:

This radish is definitely ready, but it will keep 

growing if you leave it there.

Most of this lettuce is ready, once it gets big like the

plant on the right, you can eat it!

Some ways you can use your veggies:

Slice it up and put it in a salad with your lettuce.

Slice up the radish and mix it with a little lemon juice.

Feed all the radish plus the leaves to your bunny, if you

have a bunny.

Bulbs

I planted the bulbs in the back corner near the trunk garden today.

They are under the peach/apricot tree.

If they bloom in the spring, I will add some soil mates to make

it look really pretty.  Their soil mates are mums and pansies.

Lemons

I've got lots of lemons.

Let me know if you need some.

Bulbs

I bought some bulbs for half price at Home Depot.  I'm storing them in my bathroom near the door to my deck.  This way I'll be inspired to go out soon and plant them.

I can't wait to bury them deep into the cold, dark ground where

they'll sit and sit and sit and sit until spring.

Hopefully they'll bloom then.

Autumn

I worked a bit this weekend in the backyard.  I took a lot of pictures today, but I'm only going to post a few right now.  I hope to post more later.  I love writing my thoughts down, but its hard when you are too tired.  Seems to be a trend in my blogs.  Oh well.

My Morning Glory fence is doing well.  I will

plant more starters soon.  They are thriving in their 

little dirt bags and styrofoam cups.

The brick area looks bare.  I pulled out a big

plant that didn't look very good anymore and the

pear tree has been gone for awhile.  I will 

follow my heart with this area all Autumn long.
