Photos from in and around Sage’s Acre
The keyhole garden planted for Super Bowl. All the veggies we need for garlic-cheese potatoes, nachos, and a vegetable tray (if I could grow queso, I would) .
I was doing one last late autumn veggie garden inspection before I sent the chickens in for cleanup and found a Roma tomato still churning out tomatoes!
I bought a mostly dead stick of a poinsettia after Christmas in 2020 for 93¢. This is that little rescue 2 Christmas' later. Bounced back pretty good I'd say.
Whew! After inspection, the doxies have determined our freshly harvested sweet potatoes are not cheese or anything wrapped in bacon, so Thanksgiving is safe.
Picked what remained of the butternut squash (pumpkin pie!). Same grandparents as the "mystery pumpkins" from a couple weeks ago, so this is a family photo.
All the Calif. Wonder bell peppers in the keyhole garden are the usual green except for this guy. He started to go orange but stopped halfway. Weird. I like it.
I see a spectacular Pacific sunset in a late season thunderstorm. My wife sees a giant spider that's going to try to kill her. Eye of the beholder, I guess.
Autumn is here and the gourds in the hanging garden are dying back to reveal a menagerie of bottle, birdhouse, luffa, and canteen gourds waiting to be picked.
Alexander rode an elephant; Caesar a gold chariot. Napoleon preferred a stallion. Gaucho, Chicken Emperor of the Acre, likes a wheelbarrow loaded with compost.
I ordered a cold beer for a warm autumn afternoon, but before I could get a sip, this ant kamikazed into it. My wife shrugged and said "well, he's ambitious."
