Out of ~16 stalks of sweet corn I harvested 4 cobs, and the birds got another ~20. And the stalks left to dry in the garden. Now the nicest half of have been turned into autumn porch decoration, alongside a bale of straw.
Just normal suburb things. 🎃🌽👩🌾
It'll be turned into compost and overwinter-insulation after Halloween.

Bu ağacı bahçeme yabani armut (ahlat) diye ektim ama sanırım o değil. Ne olduğunu bilmiyorum. Bilen varsa ve yardımcı olursa bakımını ona göre yapayım

There were so many native hoverflys milling about and doing their pollination thing before I tried to grab this snap.

#Gardening question:
Leaf - blowers: good or bad?
Removing dead leaves from alleyways or lawn: good or bad?
If removing the leaves is good but leaf-blowers are bad: are there good alternatives? 🙏
Edit (hopefully that won't change poll results) - thanks for the votes and comments so far!
People are suggesting using a rake as an alternative, which sounds good but apparently …
Visited Burpee's Fordhook Farm yesterday in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. I couldn't stop gazing with envy at the tomatoes. Almost all in the 8-foot range, packed with clusters of huge fruit, and showing zero signs of senescing. I'm assuming the automatic watering system is the secret. #tomatoes #gardening #burpee #doylestown #pennsylvania #seeds
The nasturtium's in fine form this morning.

Weeded the front flower beds in the hot sun while listening to the latest Murderbot installment from Martha Wells. Lost a little blood during an engagement with several thornless honeylocusts that had hacked their programming and in fact had plenty of thorns (don’t get me started). #murderbot #books #gardening
I recommend getting an #aronia shrub.
• you don't have to do anything about it most of the year
• after a few years it gives enough fruit to add to ice cream the whole year round
• the fruits come in large bunches and have relatively tough skin, so it's easy to collect
• most of people are prejudiced against it, so you have it all to yourself
