Fall Cleanup

Because we are leaving on a cruise on October 17, I decided we need to start fall cleanup early.  We ordered an extra green waste bin for a couple of weeks and have been filling them both to capacity.  By now, though, things are pretty much done.  All that is left of the vegetable garden is carrots, leeks, and chard. 

We have new neighbors next door.  The house has been empty for two and a half years, and I had forgotten how open the view into their back yard was.  So we put up more reed fencing and added two more Black Tower elderberries.  They have a bit of catching up to do to next to the older ones.  But they do seem to grow fairly fast.
