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.the last red noodle bean
