RIP Fall Garden

We are saddened to report that Fall Garden has passed away. At the time of his death, he (she?) was surrounded by a hoard of fire ants and pennywort. Fall Garden ultimately met his demise due to the 20+ inches of rain that pounded him relentlessly for 4 days earlier this month. He is survived by the only vegetable bed that made it: the asparagus.

Fall Garden was laid to rest this past Sunday, October 25th, when his caretakers took steps to eradicate the pennywort and fire ants that actually seemed to thrive despite the flooding. He will be sorely missed. The pennywort and the fire ants, not so much.

A memorial garden, the Summer Garden, will be planted in his memory in early Spring 2016.
