Today I planted my Fall garden. It's in containers. Containers will hopefully be much easier to keep weed-free.
Here are the containers:
That's bamboo leaves on the top of the pots. The meteorologists say that it's going to rain all week, and a friend advised me to lightly mulch the seeds to keep them from floating away during the rain.
And here's a diagram illustrating what's in the containers:
I have another gigantic terra cotta pot elsewhere in the yard, and it's planted with garlic and Osaka Purple mustard.
Today at the local farmer's market I bought this cool variegated hydrangea:
The blooms are supposed to be red. Neat!
I forgot to take a picture of the cute violas I bought. Well, they'll look better once I fix their little bed and put them in it, anyway.
Saturday I harvested tulsi and I'm attempting to dry it. I have the green tulsi drying on screens. I ran out of space on the screens so I'm also drying some red/purple tulsi in a bunch.
Today we started making t'ej. (The Ethiopian honey wine.) The wild grapes I picked last weekend appear to still be good. If they're not, eh, the resulting alcohol will surely kill any germs. ;)
