I don't do much cleaning of the garden, although that's often because the snow hides everything. This year, we've had early frosts, but no snow ... from one year to the next, we never know if children will be wearing their snowsuits and boots with their Hallowe'en costumes.

Yesterday I roasted eggplants and tomatoes from home and at the school I harvested a nice bag of green beans. what your post reminded me of was a student's response a few years ago when I told her to yank out some bean plants. Her heart made it an impossible task. Here in PA I am wondering if we are finally having our last 80 degree day for 2007 and if we will have an October without a frost.

John, they definitely are geography AND time. I enjoy getting to read blogs from the other side of the world for just that reason -- when we're winding down, you're just getting started, which gives me that boost to get through winter!

I just came in from watering a garden full of bursting spring growth in Sydney AUS with a predicted top of what you would call high 80s. Inside, I find you ending the season an looking to winter. I guess seasons are as much geography as time. I always find this time of year confusing to travel between hemispheres and with your blog I get to do it without getting on a plane.

A little melencholy at the end of a season/ere is good...looking forward is better. Hell, next year I might even have tomatoes!
