White eggplant. It did okay : / not as big as I thought it would get

My favourite: bell peppers! I would wait for them to ripen and turn into beautiful red peppers, but I can't contain my excitement and want them on my dinner plate now

Farewell, plants! You all did amazingly great this year :D

So empty

I cautiously dug around the roots to see whether or not I should green bin it. Pretty much half the vegetables in my field have either bolted or have been eaten by slugs.

Great! I will have to put a giant bottle over it before snow starts to fall

I'm pretty sure they're going to make it this time *fingers crossed*
There's something wrong with the seedlings because they're much too tiny for their age, a shocking seven weeks old. Maybe it's the low temperature that's hindering their growth.

Former runner from my first strawberry plant

The only container of seedlings the squirrels that frequent my backyard didn't raid. I wonder why they chose to spare this one

The peas are in the field, so I hope they survive tonight's potential frost

Didn't think this one would survive, but it did! Yes!

Not a lot of survivors. The bok choys in the greenhouse and peas are the only ones clinging on to life. The boy choys that were transplanted to the field earlier on have been gobbled up by some cursed slugs. The lettuce seedlings are alright but have been the size of a dime for the past two weeks. How unnatural is that? One cauliflower is bolting while the rest look terribly wilted. The carrots don't seem to be growing at all. Looks like my fall plan won't work out after all : ( what a bummer.

One and only fully grown bok choy. It was extra tasty

Oh, what a mess

Not sure why the radish on the left is more purple than the other two

Mini bell peppers are finally ready! The grape tomato looks like the red pepper

Aww, how cute. They're nice to look at but pretty impractical when it comes to incorporating them in a meal

Got to start this soon or it will be too late

Look what I found: a baby marigold flourishing outside the vegetable patch. It's now one with the lawn

Discovered a few sprigs of thyme growing in between the rose bushes

Here's a baby strawberry very much alive underneath a canopy of fallen rose petals and leaves

My neighbour's new angry-at-the-world dog has finally taken a liking to me :D Now I can clean up the yard without fear that something will gnaw at my ankles.

Pretty gross looking hole in the bolting lettuce stem

A bit of white mould like stuff growing around the roots of a potted lettuce

In the process of planting out some fall crops, starting with broccoli, cauliflower and these cabbage seedlings
