These photos were taken last weekend. Sorry it took so long to upload them.
I had an above average year for bell peppers. I picked all of these last Saturday. I managed to pick several green peppers earlier in the season, too.
My front yard is a carpet of orange leaves. This photo doesn't do the color justice. It catches my eye every time I walk past a front window. And I love rounding the corner in my car and spotting my yard down the block. Spectacular!
These leaves typically drop just before Halloween. (My other huge locust is hanging on to its leaves for now.) Could an earlier leaf-drop be a sign that the front tree is distressed? I worry that the multiple excavations in my front yard have destroyed too many of its roots. I sure hope not! I love my huge locust tree. Actually, I love all four of my huge trees.

My garden is pretty much done for the year. I had an average year for cucumbers, a good year for lettuce, and a lousy year for snap peas. The wildflowers took a long time to develop, but they turned out okay. I'll use a different seed mix and start earlier next year.
