The Garden is Almost Put Away

Well it has been a busy week, but even with a few curve balls, I have managed to get the dahlia tubers dug and labeled. They are still in the garden shed awaiting to be divided, but the lovely, no, stunning weather is to hold a bit longer so I figure I have a few more days to get that task done. If not? Into the basement they go untll spring.

Dahlias all dug and labeled and neatly lined up.

All the flower beds have now had compost spread on them, the stone walls have had the leaves blown out, mown and mulched and blown back into the borders beds. I still have leaf mulch that has to get spread onto the new narcissus beds, but I feel pretty good about going into winter as far as the beds are. I have taken my soil test and will get that of into the mail this week.

All I have to do now is wait impatiently for the seed catalogs to start rocking in, do a bunch of online classes and catch up on my reading and podcasts.

But that just really applies to the flowers-at-lottarock. Otherwise I will be running around trying to get the normal slew of things done on the farm. Not too many idle moments here.

So until next week, enjoy the beautiful weather. Allie
