Broken record here LOL. Today I raked up six or seven more wagon loads of leaves. I use them to continue spreading mulch. That section is...
Mel, it's heavy. They had to use a lift truck to get it out of the delivery truck. It's on two wheels and has a handle sort of like a wheel...
The low tonight here is 30F. I went around winterizing outdoor faucets. The high was 42F. Chilly, but once I got moving, I warmed up and had to...
It was a little chilly today, overcast but no rain. One of my goals this winter is to clean out the walkways between raised beds, and get rid of...
Today in the garden - I hauled five wagons of tree leaves and spread them as mulch in cleaned-up areas of the border. Next Spring I may cover...
Fall keeps you busy? Do the wisteria leaves join all the others in the compost containers?
Netty, I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find some peace with time.

I just saw a really huge wooden boat sailing by, with elephants and giraffes and all sorts of animals sticking their heads out the window.
As long as I'm on lavender, indoors, here are some others. This was at the grocery store a few weeks ago, very inexpensive. It's an interesting...
Here are my lavender seedlings now. I wanted varieties that I can't buy at the store. November might seem very early to start seeds, but I read...
Very nice, Mel! I bought one at the hardware store, too. I was an annoying customer and opened the boxes to check. A lot of their bulbs had...
I pruned the remaining fig trees in my "Adam and Eve Wardrobe Grove". Otherwise known as the row of fig trees by the easement. I cut them all...
