The Small Fall Garden

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. ;)
