The Garden in Autumn

 

Strangely, the raspberries are flowering again this year. I have never seen this before.  Also my rhodies are flowering to!!? Any explanation?

 

Our new blueberry patch has 12 new blueberry plants in it.  We grazed all summer on them.

dino kale + olive oil + pine nuts + sautee = one  of  my favorite spring and fall meals!

sunflowers in October make great bird feeders
