Fall pics
Here are the ripe hops umbels hanging from the grape arbor. I picked one and chewed on it while doing work around the yard and yep, tasted just like a good bitter pilsner, with lots of high notes that might not make it through the distilling process.
The blueberry bush has burst into flame.
The grapes ripened-- this variety is called 'Nero'. They taste pretty good too, except for the seeds.
This picture isn't related to the garden. I have spent a lifetime reading milk cartons and last week the milk carton had directions on how it could be folded to ease disposal/recycling. It takes about 10 seconds to make this cute package, once you know the trick.

Those are very nice photos.
My family thinks I'm a nut for flattening the milk cartons before tossing them in the garbage. This proves there are other nuts like me out there.
how do you protect your blueberries and grapes from critters?
We put a net over the blueberries to keep the birds away. None of the animals seemed interested in the grapes, which may be strange but I suppose they hadn't seen them before. The main critters who ate the blueberries are related to me.
And when the bears are around it is enough to give them a stern glance. They are Swedish bears.
