November 2008: Full fall.

The leaves started changing and the garden loved the weather, but in all honesty, this snapshot makes autumnal Austin look much prettier than it is in reality. I think we got lucky with the lighting in this picture -- it made pale, frail yellow look golden.

Every now and then we see this woodpecker with the red head.

Just a couple more critters before we get into the edible:

Finally, we got a good spread of produce out of the garden (counter-clockwise from top: lettuce, kale, turnips, radishes, watermelon, peas, jalapenos, tomatilloes, tomatoes) . . .

I was so happy about it I thought it was worth two pictures:

I added this blurry picture because you can see the peas a little better.

Arugula in the wash:

Mixed lettuce -- sorry, this one's blurry too:

Some vegetables, back outside -- cabbage in the foreground, then beets, then carrots and turnips in the background (with tomatoes at the very, very back):

And red kale intact:
