As I walked down my garden path to dig a few potatoes to make a pot of soup, I noticed that my "Autumn Joy Sedum" has ever so slightly begun to take on its fall coloring. Sedum ranks just behind sumac as a marker of autumn's approach. A bee and a daddy long leg happily shared space together. (Click the photo to enlarge it.)
Look how the cherry tomatoes hang so neatly on the vine as they ripen. I started these Organic Sweetie Tomatoes from seed last winter and transplanted them into my garden this spring. They live up to their name... so very sweet.
I purchased the perfect metal pail from my friend Sandy, who owns "Country Roots Greenhouse" and a gardening gift shop 7 miles east of Brainerd, to gather each day's harvest. It has a flat lid with a little round loop in the center just large enough to slip your finger through to lift it off. So fun...
