Harvest lasts a long time here in the Willamette Valley in Oregon because of the mild climate. At Saturday Market the stalls are overflowing with produce and now there are new cool weather crops like radishes and lettuces to enjoy.

The table of peppers was my favorite – so beautiful – and ready to add to tasty harvest chili.

I have given my topiaries their final haircuts for the year. Most of the topiaries are the traditional green boxwood, but I do have some variegated boxwood and several adorable thyme trees.

They will look trimmed and neat all winter now because there won’t be any new growth during these months.

I also like to use the potted topiaries inside for the holidays. In very little time and little effort, I can fill my home with Christmas greens.
