Sidewalk Greenspace on New York's Upper West Side
Last of the little yellow pear tomatoes from my windowsill.
Last of the beefsteaks.
How is this my life? Planting daffodil bulbs at night, in the rain.
Total of ten sidewalk treebeds successfully planted tonight, with between one and four dozen daffodil bulbs each, plus a sprinkling of wildflower seeds from a field in the Hudson Valley that we visited this summer. Thank goodness I’m almost done with the autumn planting!
Last week I turned over a rock in a sidewalk treebed and this little earwig scuttled out looking for a new burrow.
Late blooms on the scarlet runner beans planted in mid-summer.
I love the intense colors of the morning glory assortment outside my office.
I love the deep purple hue of these cayenne peppers, still abundant as the autumn harvest from my garden draws to a close.
This plant blew into the garden from somewhere a few years ago and is now well established. It appears to be a member of the Persicaria family, probably P. maculosa, “Lady’s Thumb,” a member of the knotweed family.
Some sources report that P. maculosa produces a yellow/green dye (with an alum mordant), although one source says red/brown.
Harvested a bunch of tomatoes off my windowsill planters.
Cheery yellow bloom.
