Light frost last night. Heavy frost predicted for tonight.
The garden still offers up a few things but soon the only thing still producing will be the cold frame.
Life of an urban gardener.

It's summer. This sort of thing is happening on the flower blossoms in my #gardenonthesideofahill . Pollinators come in many species.
How am I supposed be in the studio with this going on?

Rainy morning. Looking at the #gardenonthesideofahill from the kitchen window.
Learn something every year. Eat from it year round. Damn rabbits.
