Winter On Its Way
The cyclamen have started blooming! While it doesn't feel like winter, it's a sure sign that winter is on it's way.
Potato Harvesting
With the fall rains coming, we finally dug up the rest of the potatoes. These Yellow Finns are delicious and I'm a convert to giving a bit of space in the garden to potatoes as they're so much better than anything in the store.

The New Face of Urban Gardening: US

Goodbye, Amelia
The sad truth is I never really warmed to her...I don't know why: she was the softest rabbit (a rex) and unlike either Owen or Pops, she would sit in your lap for a long time without her bunny brain twitching. Of course, it was never clear if she sat there still in contentment...
