The racoons got into the plum tree last night and the last 5 plums were shaken down. The plum stone weevil has been bad and 95% of the plums had dropped. y got into the last gRRRRRRRRRRRr. Do you turnicae the licorice and use for scent, that is what the tall purple flower is it not.
That lacy plant almost looks like Giant ragweed should be a green bloom soon.

I noticed a few more Monarchs this last week. Checked the Milkweed plants next to garden and LOW and BEHOLD munched leaves and four Monarch catapillers munching away. This last of fourth generation will live up to 6 months vs the other three which only live two to six weeks coming up thru the states and procreating.

6 hours of driving to Minn conference only saw 5 monarchs which seems awfully low for 600 kilometers Tomatoes got a blight and leaves died off, lots of maturing tomatoes all at once. Two weeks of heat has produced lots of fall squash

last week or so, been seeing monarchs all over.
a week ago, a few beans had a hint of yellow, yesterday beans all over were turning, quite a few corn fields starting to turn as well. if we get any kind of decent weather, its going to be an early harvest for sure

we have sedum ground cover with flowers, some bachelor buttons holding on, a climbing rose with 2 buds- and dandilions blooming!
1/3 of the way through December- no frost in the ground, no snow cover- if I had access- I could be trapping gophers they are digging like crazy now
once we get into jan, its all downhill!
