Large Composter is Broken

The 2-sided tumbler composter (brown) is broken. Please do not add any food scraps to this composter, as the handle has broken off and it can not presently be turned. It's okay to use the smaller "Tumbleweed" (green) while we deal with this problem. We are, as usual, short on dry material, but fallen leaves make GREAT dry material, so if you add a few handfuls of those with your vegetable scraps that works really well.

Fall has arrived

Gardeners, it's decorative gourd season!
You might enjoy this article from today's New York Times about competitive pumpkin growing. Locally, Terhune Orchards has pick-your-own apples and pumpkins well into the fall. The Butler Garden is still going strong; I've noticed some of you are planting fall greens, etc, for the cooler weather. We'll organize a "garden clean-up" event to pull out cages and pre-winterize when it gets a little closer to the end of the season.
