I’ve been a little remiss in photographing our garden lately. These pictures are from late September, when our summer squash peaked.  Last week we tore out almost everything so we can mix up some new planter box soil and start fresh with new seeds. We’ve decided to let the squash remain—for now.  Its days are numbered.

We’re not sure what to plant next, but we already have two spontaneous rose bushes courtesy of our neighbor’s seeds falling over the fence into our plot. More free roses! 

R. Hall and B. Affleck - "The Town"

On another note, we just watched “The Town” last night on free Showtime weekend. Watching Rebecca Hall tend to her community garden plot, all I could think is, “Ugh. She’s one of those people whose plot is a jungle.”  We have neighbors like that in our garden. Their plots are overgrown, intertwined tumbles of sage brush and lilacs. There isn’t a whole lot you can do with them except stand outside and water them from a safe distance.
