First Frost
Yep. The first light frost of the fall hovered over the garden last night. We covered up the things we cared most about saving for the weeks of warmer weather ahead, but the writing is on the wall. Fall is upon us, and then fall’s mean cousin, winter. We didn’t take any long trips this summer, and my retirement meant no work travel, so we had time to mostly keep up with things and even make some improvements. There’s still a lot of autumn work to do to prepare for spring, but it doesn’t feel as overwhelming as it does some years. It seems that the magic of gardening fades slowly from spring to fall, reaching a very low ebb as the short days and cold mornings descend. I wanted to share a few photographs from various times during the summer partly because I like looking at them. Here’s to a few more weeks of garden weather for us all!
