Buddies 哥倆好

It's cold and windy outside,
no more birds to watch.



Let's take a nap,
maybe mom will give us some warm chicken soup later.

Last Harvest 都挖了

Daikon, turnip, spinach.



Top--marjarom, dill, parsley
Bottom--thyme, oregano

I just pick some herbs to dry for Winter use,
bay laurel has moved into the shed under skylight window,
let's see if it would survive the Winter.

大小蘿蔔菠菜都挖了 ﹐明年再玩﹐
剪些香草風乾冬天用﹐其他的留地上不管了。

Before Frosty Shows Up 趕快收

Mustard green thinning and the last of Summer crop。
Pick them now or lose them to frost.



WI嫁過來的雪里紅

上面是間拔出來的小菜﹐已經醃了﹐
味像小時候吃的雪里紅一樣﹐好吃。
謝謝Web

Hail Storm Damage 狂風暴雨冰雹後




The Thai basil was not injured.
It was planted among jalapeno peppers and eggplants.

The hail storm actually happened 3 weeks ago, but I was
too busy to take pictures until now. Most of the herbs survived,
except Holy Basil and sweet basil. The cherry tomatoes were gone.
Mustard greens, bok choy, daikon, turnips, beets, spinach,
lettuce, and brussels sprout are marching forward slowly.

We are expecting frost within the next 2-3 days.
Silly me transplanted fava beans today
as if nothing is going to happen!!!
(阿Q精神)

I like Fall planting,
there are less bugs to deal with,
comfortable temperature and calm blue sky,
swarms of bees and beautiful butterflies.
Ahhhhh~~~~what's not to like?


阿Q耕田不怕死﹐
明知不會有好結果都要試﹐
手癢咩﹐無事搞搞震。
