Fall is encroaching on our garden. Though we'll still be getting kale, chard, broccoli and collards for weeks to come (inshallah), the basil suddenly turned punky and the last tomatoes are hanging heavy on the vine. It was a banner year here in Eldred, and G's photos tell the story...

Bill's dad thinks the purple flowered plant is Clematis.

Nope, definitely not clematis. It's stalky, not a vine, the flowers are in clusters and it has long, slim dark green pods that hang off it...
