I’ve heard of hugokultur. Unfortunately, neither I nor my husband can dig trenches, and he probably would balk at renting a backhoe. (Wish I could afford to buy him one -— he’d be digging up the whole neighborhood)! And Lord knows we’ve got plenty of tree limbs and wood scraps we could bury!

Thanks for the reminder! I’ve done my seed shopping at Totally Tomatoes, but still need to do my Jung seed shopping!

Gala apples are SO good! My local grocer has been carrying them this time of year. I took Mom to an orchard outside of New Glarus a few weeks back and we split a peck of Zestar - which make really good pies. I put a few Granny Smith I had on hand in there, too - and got RAVE reviews from Beau, ‘Official Pie Tester.’

I still need a trip to a Pumpkin Patch in the coming weeks. So HAPPY Fall is here! Yay!

Pumpkin Spice Lattes all around! :)

I think you can also build them by laying the stuff right on the ground and then covering it with mulch, grass clippings, dirt, compost, whatever.

That’s true; if we just make frames for raised beds deep enough to cover the large pieces.

A Gala apple still life......the colors alone are striking,
but the resistance to browning makes them extra special to the cook.

I love zinnias but don’t get enough direct sun for them to blossom. Tried one year but got a non-flowering palnt!

Oh, thank you so very much for the fresh flowers. And a monarch butterfly! This brightens my day for sure.
