Sleep Tight Garden!

Posted by Admin on October 25th, 2009 filed in Uncategorized

After being away for almost three weeks this autumn, I came home to find myself quite behind on autumn tasks. For the first few days after arriving back home I was busy unpacking and getting reorganized around the house. After I finally finished those tasks, the rain started. It rained for several days, keeping me inside when what I really wanted to do was go outside and tuck my beloved garden in for the winter. Finally, today the weather cooperated and I was able to get outside and commune with my garden and say goodbye to it for the next several months. I know I sound melodramatic…don’t I? My garden is a source of pride, joy, contentment, and peace to me. Who needs appetite suppressants when I can get outside and get the blood moving through good, old-fashioned hard labor like that?

Anyway…several hours later the plants are all cut back or pulled up, the fence is rolled up for another year, the mulch is raked smooth and we are ready to hibernate while we enjoy the bounty from our summer’s work.
