October in the Garden, Herbs do great

While I continue to document the garden weekly, my harvest is getting limited.
The Swiss chard continues to do great. I'll have an abundance of radicchio well through December I'm still picking leaves and plan to thin and plant out some that I planted in the Elliot plot. Radicchio is great because you can use an aggressive salad dressing and it just takes it.
Tomatoes are kaput. I harvested green ones and am watching them.
The Kiwis are ripe, Time to pick. Many of us have been selectively testing and tasting for a week or so.
I dug up the lemongrass and Vietnamese Coriander last weekend.
Coriander is coming up all around.I saw some by the sage in the herb garden yesterday. Speaking of the herb garden, the sorrel is still a great addition to a fresh salad, there parsley, marjoram thyme oregano rosemary and an emmense amount of sage for the picking. Any gardeners who make Thanksgiving stuffing with boxed cardboard sage should get Xtra work day hours!

The Garden in October Is It Gardening or Photography?

The thinking about the garden is why I started writing but the photographs are why I continue.
Every week I photograph the same space, the garden. It changes. Sometimes because of the seasonal flow, sometimes because we alter it. The photographs document this, and, allow me to respond.

In October tomatoes still ripen. The red noodle beans have shed their aphids and are long and glossey. Still blooming and growing. My snowflake ornament makes a nice juxtaposition to the beans. They're so long that I only need a few for a recipe. I wonder if they're not really beans at all but bean-like. The Mexican bean beetles haven't touched them even though they've devoured Kirks 10 ft tall bean pole in the plot next to mine. The radicchio is getting deep red still growing and the borage has reseeded all over the Chris plot again.
