September's Splendor

It seems a few warm days of  'Indian Summer' has made all the difference in our veg garden.  We've been picking and canning up a storm the last few days, mostly green beans, but much to our amazement, the cucumbers and tomatoes have suddenly perked up and are actually ripening on the vine.  And just when we were about to give up on them.  Never Say Never!   

Even so, there are times when you simply cannot fight nature.  Or weather.  Or any number of things that contribute to the success of growing things.  Anyone who gardens has probably had such frustrating moments.  I know I have.  

I'm still learning and finding inspiration watching Gardener's World.  (Follow the link to see the episodes.)

I loved them the first time around. Oh, yes, back when you first mentioned the two series, I had myself a marathon and roared through the lot of them. It may be that I could use a refresher, though.

All your beautiful produce looks so fine and it'll taste like heaven on a cold autumn/winter day.

Oh that dahlia garden! What a colorful, magical spot on earth.

This evening I took the time to watch these two parts of the Victorian Kitchen Garden. How delightful! Now I need to go back and catch up! Or maybe I'll just wait until each month comes around again. Thank you for these links.

I did the same! Love-Love this series and didn't realize there were two: "The Victorian Kitchen", and the "Victorian Kitchen Garden" which is seasonal and goes all throughout the year. I have learned so much!

Yes, it is nice to enjoy a program that is sedate and sane! I'm glad you are enjoying them. I only wish I knew about them sooner!

Hi Miss Paula, no worries, the change has been made and you have been restored to your former glory! tee hee...
