The community raised beds at the Fairgrounds. There are 36 4x8 beds free to those who sign up every year. About a 1/4 mile from my house. I walk past every time I do my morning walk. Nice to see things growing. Any extra squash, tomatoes etc goes to a local food bank.
Spent a couple of hours thinning the fruit on one of the bipolar apple trees, last year depressed--no apples, this year manic. It is hard to tell how much to remove when the fruits are small.

The garden is finishing up. We have collards and kale in and covered and should last until Jan. Here 's our winter squash haul and the last of the tomatoes, beans and summer squash.

Yes, Shawn, but if you don't thin the fruit they don't size up well.

First year I have had a good lot. Trees are about 6 years old. This is the third picking this year. Making jam today.
Found this guy in the garden yesterday. First one this year.

We have a hard freeze coming up so I picked the last of the second planting of sugar snaps.
Our fabric tunnel raised collards. We will have them for good luck on New Years day.
Looking good, Rodger; I need to try that. Picked the last two heads of lettuce, some arugula, and a few habanera peppers for a salad tonight.
