We’ve made it to Friday again! Here’s what we’ve seen around the garden this week.

WatchThe Watch Celosia now has these huge crested heads. The leaves are starting to get a purplish cast due to the cooler temperatures.

RadishesThe fall radishes are growing fast. These radishes aren’t ready to pull until they are about the size of a tennis ball or baseball. I have to guard them from eager gardeners who think they should be pulled at normal radish size.

Fall saladThe lettuces before I scavenged for that Adventure Salad.

Sad tomatoesThe cherry tomatoes are looking sad and desolate. I think their very productive lives will come to a brutal end next week. I’m so over tomatoes for the year!

Wild StrawberriesThe strawberries are not looking sad and desolate. They are planning a takeover of the whole garden yet this fall!

Have a great weekend!
