The season is winding down. At least here in this area. Sometimes I wish for a climate that allows gardening all year long. But, on the other hand, I love the four distinct seasons. Each one has it's rewards. And work!
Basically the goal this month is garden clean-up. October was a hectic month at our place and not much gardening was accomplished until Saturday when Ed did the final mowing for the season and mulched the leaves that have fallen so far. We have several mature oaks and maples and acquire a HUGE amount of leaves each year. They may make work but also provide the perfect additions for compost and mulch.
We are still getting some broccoli, carrots, and lettuce from the garden but it is almost finished. Hopefully we'll get the tomato stakes out soon. There has been more then one year that they've stayed there until spring!
On the To-Do List this month...
1. Drain garden hoses and store for winter.
2. Clean and sharpen tools and organize the garden shed.
3. Empty, clean and carry in the pots for winter.
4. Mulch or compost leaves.
5. Write down some notes on the past year while it is fresh on the mind to make planning for next year easier.
That is it! Looks easy! But with my house cleaning crying out to me - I shouldn't be bored!
