08-30-2018 of storms and seasons.

For the first time in many years I find myself in late September without a single fruit-producing tomato plant.

What was not beat into the ground by hurricane Florence just did not survive the almost 8 inches of rain that came with it.

The "end of summer" clean-up I would start sometimes in November is now well along the way.

One surprise though came from my Magnolia Soulengeana that would normally bloom in February is now offering me some early blooms in consolation.
