Tangled CarrotFrom above ground, this looked like a promising specimen, nice and bushy green.
Somehow it got stunted and tangled. Shame.

A hint of garlicIt's high summer, we've passed the longest day and our garlic had been in the ground for 7 months.
This represents about 40-50% of the crop and is the first time we have grown garlic at our place.

PolyculturesThe other end of the spectrum from monocultures, polycultures are mixed plantings of various species that work together and may imitate naturally occurring collections.
Unlike monoculture, which is prone to pest and disease, depletes and degrades soil, polycultures are ecosystems in themselves, utilising the balancing and collaborative effects of nature.

Getting older, in styleSomething of a ritual, we recognised our third wedding anniversary by once again squeezing into our costumes and making a photo for the record.
November is a good time for this with so much vibrant growth and bloom.
