Welcome November
Well it might be November but I am as busy as ever, but the good news is that things are getting checked off the list. My goal? To have everything done that needs to be done finished up by the 15th of the month. Can I do it? We shall see.
All of the gardens in the fenced area, save the magnificent chrysanthemums has been cut back.
Most of the irrigation has been pulled, labeled and stowed for the winter. The plants outside the fence are on my list for this week coming, as are getting the 1800 tulips planted in the boxes in the garden you don’t see. This is how it goes. I am reading a writer/gardener on Substack and she was talking about alliums, so I ordered just a mere 150(?) of three different varieties. Always looking for expanding the flower varieties and I also just love having small flowers for the early spring posies.
The chrysanthemums that you aren’t enjoying this year, but hopefully will next year because I will have more available, are just amazing. They are nothing like the mums that you get at Trader Joes or the supermarket. No, these are just amazing. They have movement! Next week I will take photos so you can see them. I am going to turn you into floweraholics!
I normally take down the remay and store it in the shed when we have a few days of above freezing, (it protects the mums) so the other day when I was trying to fold it up to store my garden buddy Jager was the best help…
I know the flower shed is closed, but if you need a floral pick up let me know. I do have some stunning flowers. Just shoot me an email or text me and I will have an arrangement for you. It isn’t a problem because I do have flowers going out Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that are standing weekly orders so the flowers are there hopefully until the middle of the month.
That is about it for this week. With the time change the dogs are antsy to get chores down so they can have dinner. I will pass this off to Steve.
As always, Allie. I dream of flowers, do you?
