Whoa! You probably think Patrick and I have taken September off! But oh, no, we've been helping Big Lady in the garden!
For starters, we have new visitors who have been alternating between eating the Rue and the Parsley. These are cat-r-pillars, says Big Lady. They must travel the length of the deck to get from plant to plant because the Rue is on the opposite side from the Parsley.
Then, Big Lady is still growing peppers. They're not the hot kind, and they are not as big as the ones in August, but they are still growing. Occasionally one breaks off and Patrick and I play ball with it, except we really don't like the taste of them unless they are cooked with chili or eggs.
Of course, the roses are still in bloom, some of Big Guy's favorites are the tall bush that reaches to the guttering of the house, the BIG RUGOSA!
But all in all, it has been a busy fall. Patrick has made me promise to be more dilly-gent in posting regularly!
