As part of my work at the organic farm this morning, I picked about 50 pounds (23 kg) of peppers from this greenhouse growth. (If my math and estimations are correct, that's about 6 pecks of peppers or maybe slightly more. None of them were pickled however.)
I am glad that I don't have to do work like this too often. My back is still sore this afternoon from all the bending over.
1 of 113 wild flowers that I have found blooming in the last three days (September 25,26,27). I found this one by the Grand River just before the 5 km Waterworks run started.
Fungi found on a stump. Sorry, no ID. It was just off one of the trails in the Hendrie Valley of the Royal Botanical Gardens on Friday, September 25.
One of 111 species that I saw in bloom last week. This is a hybrid aster that is less common that most asters. I failed to recognize it at first as I don't see it every year and this was the first time I saw it this season.
This Datura stramonium, or Jimsonweed is trumpet-shaped when all the way open but looks more interesting when opening or closing. I found this one in the Royal Botanical Gardens in the Burlington, Ontario section not far from the Rose Garden.
