The last month of Summer... though we may still get some pretty hot days for a few months yet.

One side of the front garden is now looking pretty spent but the other has picked up and is looking quite vibrant.

The veggie patch has been over run with self seeded cherry tomatoes... but I'm regarding that as bio mass for feeding the soil when I get around to cutting them down in chop and drop fashion.

The main thing growing in the garden at the moment (other than the yellow peaches), is the sugar pumpkin. I bought the seeds based on it being described as the pumpkin of choice for making pumpkin pie... now I just have to try and be patient and wait for them to ripen before harvesting.

I have mowed the lawns and done some whipper snippering (aka strimming)... but there are always weeds and areas that need more work... I'm not in any rush or pursuing perfection so I take it as I feel.
