Doesn’t look so bad, does it? Well, it does, if you look closer. You would not believe I spent all summer pulling up weeds, only to have them grow back basically over night. Nature has certainly taught me a lesson this year - you cannot “get it under control”. It’s amazing anything I planted got a chance at all, but there still is hope.
Right now the Sedums are in full blossom and keeping the bees busy on the last warm days of the year. Don’t know how they managed to keep on top of the grass and bindweed, but somehow they did and I’m certainly grateful for it. Also the bumper crop of apples which my old Boskoop apple tree produced this year helps me come to terms with the fact that summer is definitely over.
And apparently the apple tree is not the only one around here who seems to have missed the memo telling them there is only one person to feed in this household. Right now the pumpkins are producing like crazy - I only hope the first frost is still far enough away to let them all ripen.
