Brugmansia in Bloom. 8 Sept 24.

 I think I've overwintered this one three times.  It took a while, but now it's demanding our attention.

Tomato Harvest. 8 Sept 24.

 

Tomatoes and a few poblano peppers.

Planting a Petite Negri Fig Tree Start. 8 Sept 24.

 This is the Petite negri start that I rooted via air layering this summer.

It lost a few leaves, but still looks OK.  Not as vigorous as Lattarula.

This tree will complete my border by the easement.  It didn't have a lot of roots, but they seem to be growing.  I bothered them as little as I could.

Filled in and planted, with fencing to protect from deer.

There are still a few months before winter.  I think it has a chance to establish before then.  I'll give it a nice mulch.

Replanting / Potting Rose Start from Cutting. 8 Sept 24

 This is a rose from the yard that I liked.  No label.  Last fall, I cut three mature sticks and pushed them into the soil in a garden container.  Two didn't root, but this one did.  They had no special care, other than watering.  (The white flower is a seed- grown, dwarf dahlia).

It was easy to dig it out of the container - I removed some of the side pieces first.  I could dig deeply from the side.

After removing the rose plant, I rinsed off the soil.  I wanted to plant it in potting soil, with a uniform consistency.

Then I planted the little rose bush in a container.  The tender growth wilted a little, so I sniped that part and placed the plant in the cooler garage for the day.

Sauce Tomatoes. 3 Sept 24.

 First significant crop of sauce tomatoes this year.
