This is what happens when mixing a fast changing sky with fast growing hybrid willows:
Bigfoot Willows frequently cross paths with the Autumn sunsets.
Goat Color
Various beautiful goats are hanging out on the farm.
Clumping Bamboo Iowa
I haven’t had much success with the lower vigor of clumping bamboos.
So far Fargesia Rufa is the only clumper I have had survive, and it persists rather than grows in my climate.
Black Locust Deer Rub
A buck deer has been attracted to one of my Black Locust trees.
It has been rubbing hard on this tree. Diamond doesn’t seem to distraught about my damaged tree.
Cat Watch
One of my cats has found a good vantage point for hunting of his prey.
If he is lucky, mouse will be for dinner.
Fall Colors 2013
Colorful trees are common here in fall.
Black Gum always has a good red fall color.
Japanese White Birch(Betula platyphylla) can have good fall color.
Smooth and Staghorn Sumac are good fall color producers.
Virginia Creeper(Parthenocissus quinquefolia) has climbed this White Mulberry and is red throughout the crown.
Colorful little trees waiting to be planted in their permanent spot.
Japanese Larch trees are changing into a beautiful yellow color.
Royal Purple Smoketree is an attractive color during all the growing months, not just fall.
The Royal Frost Birch has some reddish attractive leaves in fall.
5 Gallon Jalapeno
This year was the largest harvest of Jalapenos I’ve ever had.
What I do not use fresh I dry and use throughout the year.
Asian Pear
The Giant Asian Pear is finally producing fruit now after many barren years.
The brown fruit is similar in size to the apple on the right.
Always Moving
I am frequently noticing a lot of changes in the sky and watching the clouds create visual pleasure.
Sweet Potatoes For Winter
70 pounds of sweet potatoes were harvested this fall.
These potatoes will be used up in the winter.
