Frost on Feverfew

We've had our official freeze, and the growing season is over except for the greens. I'll try to keep them growing because even at the end of the season they're better than the stuff shipped in. To be clear, I'm not complaining that stores ship in produce. In the middle of winter here in Minnesota , I'm grateful! Below are some photos from our place...oak and hazelnut. 

The mess that is my garden

With the combination of late heat and humidity, heavy rainfalls with wind, and now cool, damp weather, my garden is a mess. Tall flowers are knocked over, things that don't normally get diseases are looking sad and limp, and then there's the fact I haven't weeded for a while. I've got some work to do this weekend! I have to remember that no garden is perfect.

The bok choy will taste good, even if there are weeds...

...as will the pea pods (second batches sown in July).

This weather has been good for my begonia on the front step.

And on warmer days, the bees love the basil. (It was tough to capture their rapid movements, but there are two in this photo.)

Now the fall colors are beautiful.

Happy Autumn!
