This page begins with September 15th and a trip out the Steese Highway for a day of Lingonberry harvesting. The autumn colors were at their peak, and the berries were nicely ripe. Down in Row 8 you can see some of Kazuya's Baked Delights and in Rows 9 and 10 there are some photos that were taken here at home. After that are a few photos of the final day of Farmer's Market for the 2021 Season, and then a couple of photos of our garden with the first snow on it. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

We have primarily birch and aspen for autumn colors. Here and there are also some larch, but they are also yellow in the autumn. We have no maple or other tree which change to bright red, so here are mountainsides of yellow and gold in first and third position. In the center is an Osprey Nesting Platform with the sun directly behind it which was constructed by the power company to entice them away from the power poles

Here is another mountainside of gold and yellow in first position. The shot in the center was taken right along the Steese Highway. The third shot was taken from the US Creek Road and the three outlines shown in it indicate the next three photos.

The first photo here is another shot which was taken along the US Creek Road. All of the country out there was burned over just a few years back. The second and third shots show Crowberry (Empetrum nigrum). Crowberries are edible and are used by some folks in various ways, but we do not harvest them.

Good grief! We came out here and harvested some gallons of blueberries last month when the bushes still had leaves, and it was more difficult to find and harvest them. Today we are here for lingonberries, but we can't resist the ease of finding and harvesting blueberries too.

In first position is a photo of some Meringue Chantilly which Kazuya made. They were quite amazing. In second and third position are shots of a Chestnut Cream Cake made by Kazuya, also very delicious.

The first shot here shows Kazuya inside of our canopy on the final day of the Tanana Valley Farmer's Market. Note the snow on the grassy areas. The second shot shows a small portion of one of our tables and the third shot shows me inside the canopy. Please note that Kazuya bakes enough so that the table can be restocked several times before we finally sell out.

Here is another shot which shows only a small portion of one of our tables. The second shot shows a bit more detail of what it looks like in our canopy as opening time approaches. We arrive at 7:00 AM to be fully prepared at the 9:00 AM opening time.

Here are the final two shots for this month - snow in our garden on September 26th. I had already cut down all of the plants three days prior to this. The soil on the mounds was already frozen, which explains why I cut down all of the frosted plants instead of pulling them. The areas where the snow remain are all frozen soil. By the way, I also raked the entire garden three days ago, the leaves you see have fallen and/or blown into the garden since then.
