The fall garden
In Charlotte, like many places in the South, fall gardens are just as rewarding as summer gardens. Maybe even more so. Our garden this season has had a bumper crop of broccoli, collards, carrots, lettuce, beets and turnips. It's been mild, so things are still growing - we'll be cutting collards a third time tomorrow morning.
Also, two Eagle Scouts just completed pathway projects, saving us literally thousands of dollars, and opening the garden to all, even those with mobility challenges.

i must comment that aesthetically the individual vegetable plants are gorgeous, especially the cabage.
on another note, it's a great tribute to the power of gardening how much attention people pay to the fall garden (some of whom have payed enough attention to figure that they can get paid selling broccoli on the street corner). tammy asked me today when we are going to do something for the garden group--we have had soccer events and art events--but what about the garden.
clearly the project has arrived.
