It's getting autumn

For me the midnight sun is one of the most natural thing: That's how it should be in the life - always sunlight. But it's getting to be autumn, I just have to admit it even I wouldn't like to. Light is changing somehow colour and intensity is much lower, specially at night time.

It start to be autumn also for my garden. I'll be now about three weeks away from home, just popping by there once in a while. First one week in Svea, then a week in Trondheim and going back to Svea for a week after that. And then it's already early September and definitely autumn.

Autumn also means that's it's time to start to put my garden down. All salad is already eaten, also almost other herbs as well, except parsley which growing like a weed. Tomatoes and pumpkin are allowed to continue to grow still for a while.

The first pumpkin is growing steadily. I'm already dreaming about dinner, having it together with tasty Svalbard reindeer.

Another small pumpkin, growing also promisingly.

I have got couple of handful with cherry tomatoes. There is still lot of flowers and some green tomatoes, but I'm not sure if they manage to ripe before autumn.

One afternoons harvest. Tasting better than sweeties!

My beans were not growing that successfully. Next year I would like to try some peas instead.

Black eyed Susan has been flowering since early June. Maybe I should have next year some more flowering plants instead of eatable ones. My small garden isn't giving that much to food, so flowering plants might give the same amount of pleasure as the pumpkin leaves.
