Glass Gem Corn

While the cobs are smaller than I would have liked, I plant to grow again, next year, probably only three plants along with grex beans, not pumpkins though.

Tar Spot; What it is.

"Tar spot is a fungal disease that doesn't require a fancy microscope for diagnosis. As you might guess, the disease is characterized by raised, black spots on leaves. Tar spot occurs primarily on silver maple." source

Winter is Coming: Time for New Projects

While the cosmos is still in bloom alongside the house, the gardening season has come to an end. The small garden has been put to bed and I am moving onto new projects, although both are connected to food and growing.

November is NaNoWriMo month. You sign up to write 50,000 words within the month of November. I have started on a novel entitled. "Enough is Enough."

The second project is to grow this blog, the Inquisitive Gardener. A book is in the work, one feature of this book will be a section on "invasive plants." I'll release more details as the days pass.

What are you up to in the offseason?
