I was on the road last week and didn’t have a chance to post this group of photos from gardeners around the region–all of them taken before the widespread frost\/freeze of last night.<\/p>\n

Enjoy these late-season garden photos–still lots of green and color.<\/p>\n

Next up: your photos of post-frost gardens. Yes, I’m looking for dead squash and cuke vines with fruit hanging next to blackened leaves; or, one of those death-to-all-weeds images. (I actually don’t bother clearing my garden until a good freeze has reduced the sheer volume of fall weeds.)<\/p>\n

So, most growing may have stopped, but gardens are still photographically interesting–we’re just into a new phase of the cycle, eh?<\/p>\n

Send your mid-fall garden photos to ellen@ncpr.org and be sure to tell me where your garden (or porch planters) are located in our region.<\/p>\n

This first group comes from John Casserly who lives just outside of Canton.<\/p>\n

This one came to us from Nancy Howard, in the northern Adirondacks:<\/p>\n

The next group is from Louise Scarlett who has been gardening in Rossie for decades (and is one of the best garlic-growers I know):<\/p>\n

Finally, this one from Harold Shippee, who has shared other photos this summer from Unicome Farm. He reports that “…this past summer we were overwhelmed with beans, lettuce and sunflowers; corn and tomatoes a disappointment.”<\/p>\n

Well, Harold’s photo was taken last week. Again, we’re interested in seeing how your gardens are holding up after widespread frost and freezing. Send your photos to ellen@ncpr.org.<\/p>\n
