DH tilled shredded leaves and aged manure into the vegetable garden and I've put a couple of inches of shredded leaves around all the perennials. There's a nice mound of aged manure under a tarp to spread around everything next spring. I've still got a few fall flowers blooming and one of my geraniums has the prettiest fall colored red leaves on it. I generally do not cut my flowers back until spring. I feel that the dead foliage protects them in the winter plus I enjoy the yellow stalks of the tall lilies and the silvery seeds on the clematis. I leave the cone flowers alone so the finches can enjoy the seed. I guess each season has it's own beauty.

That all sounds so good. You are really on the way towards winter. It will be awhile before I catch up with you.
You do stuff the way that I like to do things around this time of year.

I hope that yopu will have the opportunity to take some fall shots of your garden beds there.
