Yesterday was canning day! I had accumulated 4 batches of jalapenos in the fridge. With Sally remnants hanging around a bit & 2 inches of rain making the ground soggy, it was a great day to stay inside and do some canning. The 4 batches resulted in 24 jars of beautiful (& tasty!) Jalapeno Pepper Jelly.
This past week, I cleaned out all the sunflower stalks & took down the fencing around two of my raised beds. The only thing in those beds are marigolds so I don't have to worry about the crows raiding. Currently, the crows are more interested in what is falling off the apple tree & what is ripe on the fig bush.
The fall zinnias are really beginning to bloom. Most are solid color, but I have one that I'm really liking ... I think it's called "Candy Cane". I suspect it's a seed that got in the package by mistake; however, I have a whole package of zinnias like these to plant in the spring.
