This year’s crop of grapes is small, and won’t be ripe for at least another month, but I was reminded of what we have to look forward to by this photo of a prior year sent in by neighbors Roy and Mary — thanks for sharing!
Remembrance of Grapes Past

Budbreak!
This week’s warm weather has encouraged the grapevines to open their first buds.
Grapevines Coming to Life
As grapevines swell with new growth, old bark splits and peels to reveal new bark underneath.
Runner Bean Harvest
I planted the runner beans too late in the season — we did get some nice vines, and some lovely flowers, but by the time they were getting ready to set fruit it had already turned cool, and in the end there was only one actual pod that was large enough to harvest, yielding just four beans — hardly enough to be worth cooking, so I’ll set them aside to dry and be planted next year… hopefully a little earlier this time!
Final Tomato Harvest
Last of the little yellow pear tomatoes from my windowsill.
Late Tomato Harvest
Last of the beefsteaks.
Runner Bean Flowers
Late blooms on the scarlet runner beans planted in mid-summer.
Purple Cayenne Peppers
I love the deep purple hue of these cayenne peppers, still abundant as the autumn harvest from my garden draws to a close.
Mixed Tomato Harvest
Harvested a bunch of tomatoes off my windowsill planters.
Signs of Fall
The first indications of autumn are cropping up in the garden, as the grapevine starts to show some fall color.
