Last night was beautiful. I was at the garden in the evening & took some wonderful photos of the full moon & the sunset. While I was out there taking the photos I heard this crazy noise which was definitely an animal (not machine) but I have no idea what it was. It was like this strange screeching/clearing throat noise that sounded way too deep/low to have been a bird. Perhaps there was some kind of a wild cat out there?

Last Sunday my parents joined me at the garden & my wonderful father mowed & weed whacked the garden area for the last time this year so everything is low enough to decompose over the winter under the newspaper/cardboard/mulch I lay down on top of it.

I am already thinking of what I am going to do different next year, what I want to grow more of, what I don’t want to grow & how I want to maintain the garden area from now on.

We had two days of rain since my last post – about 2 inchs total. I have found more cut worms on the tomato plants & they are hungry. I have removed about 7 of them. My mom tells me that when I was 6 or 7 my neighbor friend down the street and I would feed the cut worms to my friends chickens. I don’t remember that.
