Continuing harvest

I filled a container with another week supply of kale and chard from the garden today. I should be able to gather a final week's worth next weekend, then all that will be left is the lettuce under the plastic which I will check in January. It has been an unsually mild autumn.

Winter is approaching

We had an unseasonably warm and sunny week, but cooler temperatures have returned. The Japanese cherry trees outside my window in Buffalo lost most of their leaves yesterday when the winds picked up.
