Still Green

Well, just a few days to November, and the broccoli and carrots as well as the strawberries and yarrow are still alive outside:
The broccoli seeds are slowly but surely growing, so I'm going to leave them be for now. The carrots I'm letting go as long as possible for the same reason, and I hope the tub doesn't get cracked when things start freezing. Those seedlings in the pot are where the borage reseeded itself, and tho you can't see them, there are tiny dill seedlings as well from that time I dropped the seeds I was harvesting. The strawberry is there in the back with the green and red leaves, and still didn't produce any berries. The towel, in case you're wondering, is to keep the neighbor's cat out of the box, which he's been interested despite there still being plastic mesh over it. The drawers won't last the winter, but I'll be able to use their dirt as the top layer of the in-ground layer garden which got a layer of leaves and newspaper just a couple of days ago.
I took this picture a few days into October, and have had some casualties since then:
Mainly the tobacco (orange pot) and the rosemary and thyme (black pots behind the white aloe pot). The oregano and feverfew on the bottom shelf there are doing just fine, tho, as are the two aloe. I've started giving them 'gray water' (dirty dishwater) and they're liking that.
And here's a kitty who doesn't care that her new bed cost only $5:
I love Grocery Outlet. Most beds in 'small dog size' cost at least $20 at Petco, and the smaller 'cat' beds don't fit her. She's topped out at the size of most MALE cats.
And a President who doesn't support organic like his wife does.
