State of the Garden, mid-October

Not really. All I can say is the broccoli have succumbed to insects after the heat and drought stress, and the kale doesn't look much better. I've not been taking care of them--I've been off looking at Other Peoples Gardens. For shame!

This is a lovely little peninsula they made into a garden! I don't know the history of it but I do know it's worth the trip.  Even in fall--pumpkins, chrysanthemums and coneflowers abounded and even some flower I would have thought done for the season, like begonia. But they're having the same unseasonable heat as we are.






My favorite!  The fairy garden -->











And good sandwiches in the snack bar, too! No pic--gobbled it down before the camera could come out.
