Bit quiet in the garden at the moment, a few bits of Autumn still hanging on....

And a harbinger of spring ...

Here's a video I made of Autumn around the village

Cats basking in the sun in front of the West Texas Mallow. Always looking good, no matter the month!

I've actually been doing a lot with edible plants this year. The tomato vine is still limping along, as are the okra. I covered the eggplant with plastic when the nights started dipping into the 50s and so far it's worked. Might get a few more fruit before real winter kicks in.

These are from recent harvests. I am wishing I had a few more kale plants, but I have a lot of chard I received from a friend recently.

The broccoli bolted, but otherwise all the brassicas are doing well and I just got more lettuce. Turnips look good and beets are starting to form. It's been quite lovely to go out to the garden and get food.

Keep seeing more and more surprising volunteers as the ‘winter’ in Phoenix keeps going on. Found 2 ground cherries and a safflower in my corn bed. Also had 3 sunflowers grow (and blooming now!) in there too. I know corn and sunflowers don’t mix, but it’s always a nice surprise to see what kinds of volunteers you might get. Corn is looking good and my snow peas are producing bunches. My 1 kale plant is such a trooper. Survived the desert summer and is kicking into overdrive in the winter. In-laws also got me a dragonfruit and a new greenhouse for Christmas so it was awesome for me!

@DrMike27 they still look good and the greenhouse looks great.
