2018 fall garden trimming is done. Whew! That’s enough work for me! I made the last 2018 trip to compost yesterday. Yeay! The last ninebark got trimmed, the remaining hostas got trimmed, and some sedum got trimmed.
All that’s left to do now is pull in the garden “pretties” like the funny hunting and hiking bears, the toad and turtle playing checkers … I was going to do that today but ach! … it can wait another week.
Today I can rest and enjoy our guest in the (indoor) garden. He got groomed yesterday so he thinks he’s pretty snazzy. After a long walk in the leaves (LOTS of sniffing involved), he settled in for a nap. He deserves that oversized blankie you know 😁
Updates on previous posts:
I decided to cut back the sedums that were falling over, and keep those that are staying upright. That left 5 sedum plants for the birds to enjoy this winter.
The bird bath heater is too big for my little bird bath, and I don’t want a new bird bath, so back that goes.
Inside the hibiscus continues to bloom.
The orchid blooms failed this week, after 4 months of blooming. That will rest now too.
And the tomatoe plant wrapped up (indoors) last week. Today I am making chili with the last of the tomatoes. Yum! A good pot of warm food in the Lodge dutch oven. Now that’s fall!
