Since we started to tackle the over abundance of dogwood in the garden I can now see this fiery winged spindle, or burning bush, from the kitchen sink. Still a huge amount of work to do but little things like this are making all the difference, especially when the sun shines.

Harvesting loads of leafy greens to dry before winter. Dried leafy greens can be added to soups, sauces, curries, rice (while it’s steaming), savory breads or ground into a fine powder to mix with flour for making pasta/noodles.

Below are dandelion greens.

Talked to a couple of citrus experts and was told not to worry about the citrus below blooming in late October - none of these cultivars require a cool season to flower and that they’ll just keep blooming as long as the weather is warm. It’s almost 80F/27C today.

Update: final harvest from the squirrel-proofed apple trees. We got 4.5 kg (~9lb). It's incredible

The Kid, who grew up knowing our trees would produce a max of 5 apples, has been exclaiming in disbelief every time he looks at them.

Besides the intense grazing pressure from the squirrels, the trees are small, as they were planted by the previous owners in a not-great location (by a fence, in a semi-shaded area). And yet. Look at how much they can do!

The first creature I met at the garden centre today was this bunny, helping herself to snacks. Her companion bunny was also an enthusiastic nibbler, so I took photos of them both.

I would think that bunnies might be unwelcome in such a place, but no! A staff guy came and gave me a lettuce leaf to feed to the bunny. The cashier told me how well loved the bunnies are. There are three main rabbits. They have names, they get treats, they are loved.

Hey, middle of October. Time for Cilantro! Again? #gardening

I have been paying attention to other neighbor gardeners in the area (Zone 8A)and finding it disturbing that they are taking down the tomatoes already. Here in Zone 9A I've got another month at least. Big adjustments ahead.

OTOH being able to garden in a colder zone means I can plant more lilacs, peonies, sour cherries, and a wider variety of interesting apples. Looking forward to that. #Gardening
