The season winds down and so do I

When I sit outside these days I enjoy the last of the flowers, beans an tomatoes and pick a few from time to time.

Things didn't turn out as well as I'd liked. The radishes,turnips and many other things failed but I turned my attention to the things that preformed well above expectations like these marigolds planted from last years seed.

The strawberries spread well but as in many first years in a new bed. There were precious few berries.

 Here's the " container corner"as it looks now. Mostly beans and marigolds. Quite a contrast from when we first started.

As things slow down I'm back to combining garden photos with some drawing as I work on some card designs.

 This leaf border on the inside becomes a nice trim to the deckle overlap you see when you look at the closed card.

The mini tomatoes began to fail in the house so I planted some in soil to finish ripening.
