Autumn has definitely arrived with its changeable weather, its colder nights, hearty winds and unfolding beauty within our Northern Hemisphere. The Harvest, although not as abundant as other years, has been reaped while celebrations for what has been received through the planting and growing seasons is under way throughout our societal realms.

Autumn with its scents of burning leaves; spices wafting out from home kitchens busy with baking, winter preserving; fall fairs and gathering with family and friends is a time of thoughtfulness; a time when we pull out old recipes used by our Grandmothers and Mothers over the years that have been passed down to us in keeping family tradition alive.

In between preparing our gardens for winter and getting things stored for use over the long winter months we discussed new kinds of Pumpkins; growing Parsnips; Squash and Kale along with some great recipes. We also enjoyed viewing photos of Gardener Julie's new Pond that is now finished and ready to be enjoyed throughout the Spring and Summer months "down under" :)

To read more about these topics and see some great photos please visit this section November 8, 2010 when the links will be actively in place.

Just a reminder, if you love plants indoors or out and would like to meet others who enjoy sharing tid bits about gardening in general you are invited to join with us in having a great time.

Until Next Time, Happy Gardening
