I had a day off today and it turned out to be a beautiful day. It has been raining non stop for what seems like weeks and not just light rain, torrential rain. The trees are in their last stages of glory.
I have been thinking of my poor uncovered beds and it has been bugging me... a lot. If there has been a break I'm usually at work. The weekends have been very bad. When I went last I didn't really have enough leaves and they were just beginning to fall so I made do with what I had but it was always niggling at me.
I raked up all the leaves in our yard and threw them in my car. I then raked the front and even took the next door neighbours leaves. They probably think I'm a really nice person raking their leaves and taking them away. Three big bags total. Lovely, lovely leaves!
I donned my rubber boots, gathered up a cart and headed to my plot. Some of the plots were seriously under water. Pretty disheartening. It makes me so grateful for my lovely spot.
It looks so neat and pretty with all the fall leaves in the boxes. They are pretty damp so I don't think they should blow away too easily. My garlic was starting to come up so I made sure I mulched them well with leaves.
Sweet dreams little garden. I hope to see you in the spring. May the winter treat you well....
