I Wrote last time about the fall garden stuff being overall not that good, as I look back though it is doing as good as it can with the drought and all. Not to mention that I forgot about the tomatoes that were looking fairly good, when you keep the chickens off of them.

Fall Tomatoes

More Tomatoes

The plants look like they are growing just a little slower than they would in the spring, but they are chugging along, and they are loaded with blossoms!

Blossoms

The cabbage and brussels sprouts are growing well , along with the last of the peppers that were planted in the spring.

We also have a pecan tree as well as several wild persimmon trees that grow around here that are getting ripe and ready.

The pecan has started to look alot better from seasons past, I started a  fertilzer treatment this year and it made quite a few more nuts, and they started dropping this week.

Pecans

What can you say about the persimmons, they are a wild variety , so they put out a large crop darn near every year, but don’t try em till they are completely ripe….its an awful dreadful fruit until then hehehehe.

Red and Green Cabbage

The fall garden started a little rough this year , due in part to a late season drought!  The Burn ban is back in effect after a short reprieve, so the rain has been scarce here, and it took a toll on the early plantings. I started with a few rows of pinto beans, and they didn’t even sprout, The cucumbers that I started a couple months back are about 4 inches tall, with flowers but no real vines to speak of. The only real stars of the fall garden this year have been the brassicas, I put in some red and green cabbage and some brussles sprouts and they are still looking good, so there is our hope to hold us thru till spring! I didn’t get the garlic in yet but maybe next week I will plant a few bulbs of that.

Anyway take a look at the latest pics from our place.

So hopefully this will keep us occupied until the spring thaw hahahaha.

Ya’ll have fun and enjoy the weather , we sure are!
