My lettuce this past spring either bolted or was eaten by deer before we got to enjoy much. I've been doing fall cleanup, too. Yes, it's that time!

But not by much. the lovely red leaves belong to one of my Japanese Maples. Where I grew up in Ontario, we had sugar maples. Maple syrup time was huge where I lived. I still miss the fall colour of the maple, and Ive found that you can get that intense colour in Japanese maples. I LOVE them.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-45713345240398750622011-10-02T23:15:04.507-07:002011-10-02T23:15:04.507-07:00Hi Erin, Wow, the leaf colour in your first photo!...Hi Erin, Wow, the leaf colour in your first photo!! Amazing! Love your cauli comparison, they need lots of water until established then you have to stop the cabbage white butterflies from laying their eggs - caterpillars love a nice cabbage leaf - and any birds from having a nibble. Netting will do it but is so unsightly, I rub the eggs off and hope for the best. My brassicas are doing brilliantly but I mulched the soil with well-rotted manure. I hope you find they all catch up with each other! Are you heading into Autumn in your part of the world?Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.com
