Blue kale with frost crystals
Shady & sunny halves of the mulch. This thick layer of leaves keeps the soil underneath protected & frost free.
Last apples that were still hanging are harvested. The leaves are gone and the tree is ready for winter dormancy.
This moment comes every year, and the next year I plant physalis again from seed. It’s such a beautiful and delicious plant. Grateful for the harvest.
Apples grafted with the neighbors variety 2 years ago are already producing.
One of my favorite berries, the #physalis is finally ripening. I’ll be enjoying them until the frost comes. Hopefully for a while still 🤞

I made sure I tried the berries before I planted this one, raspberries have such a variety of flavors and this is one of my favorites.
Pretty bean pods
The tart grapes are also starting to ripen. They make excellent jam.
New grape vines are already producing a small harvest and they are delicious.

New spontaneous arrival: creeping wood sorrel. Joining ground ivy, also spontaneous, and white clover, intentionally planted as ground cover.
The beautiful leaves of #physalis – the first fruits are already ripe, will keep enjoying them until the frost comes.
Sharing the bounty. A pear fell and split open, creating a wasp banquet.
Boxful of pears. More on the way.
