Autumn Rainbow


We often think of rainbows in spring, but the fall garden has its own rainbows too! I thought it might be nice to just offer a color splash without a lot of words... 


Red

Swiss Chard

Blueberry leaves

 
Black Cohosh leaves


Orange

Fawn is at the age where pumpkin carving is still a thrill, but she is old enough to do it completely by herself. With volunteer pumpkins all over the garden, this should be a decorative autumn! She might even carve up the Atlantic Giant...


Yellow

Maximilian Sunflower (perennial)

Honeyboat squash, ready to dig in


Green

"Dwarf" curly leaf kale

And still some new Armenian cucumbers forming in the tipi, in October!


Blue

Incredible skies over the Wood for Food garden


Purple

Potatoes -- like an Easter egg hunt


  
Russian Kale and Johnny Jump-ups (I'm not the only one enjoying these petals)



Enjoy this amazing time of year!

  1. Hope your Honey Boat is sweeter this year. Ours are pretty sweet...perhaps, because of the long warm summer we had this year.

    1. It is very sweet and delicious, thanks John! :-) I appreciate you introducing me to this variety, I am pretty sure I will grow it every year from here on out!
