[Magdalen] The Last Rose of Summer.

[Chad Wohlers]

I still have tomatoes & peppers producing (kind of) in the greenhouse. Picked the last of the outdoors tomatoes a couple of weeks ago – they’re now part of some very hot salsa. 

Foliage season is pretty much over here. Beeches are turning and are quite pretty until they get a dull brown. Popple trees (quaking aspen) are just starting to turn. Maples are pretty much bare now, and birches and cherries are nearly there.

We're still getting tomatoes in the Sky Garden.
