We have had what for us in Yukon, had been a long autumn. The poplars are changing.



It was a glorious fall day. The kind that don’t happen very often. We took advantage and had a little walk and a lovely picnic.



The back alleys of downtown Whitehorse abound with raspberries. This is the latest I’ve ever enjoyed them.


The summer was dry so the poplars are expressing different colours as they loose their leaves.
Because of the long hot dry late summer, all the gardens have done well, including our community garden. I visited this morning to water again. It is amazingly thirsty at this time of year having had no rain and with big plants. I’m really looking forward to another enormous cabbage. And it looks like our sunflowers are actually going to get a chance to bloom. I could’ve sworn that I bought dwarf seeds, but apparently not.





We have had an astounding spell of hot dry, sunny weather here in Whitehorse. Many of the annuals and perennials have loved it.



That is our four and a half pound savoy cabbage! We grew on our allotment in the downtown community garden
