Bright Orange Leaves

Well, the colors are really fabulous and the leaves, once they fall, will help your garden. Today I saw a lady select a few prime leaves from the sidewalk and decorate the trash can in Fairhaven with them. It was funny in a way. I passed her and pointed out one that she might enjoy. She picked it up.

Rake your leaves and heap them on the garden. You don't have to dig them in, just pile up with cardboard and table scraps and manure and grass clippings and more leaves. By spring, the soil will be teaming with worms, or so Deb says from Rainyside Gardener. And I've had good results myself.

Today I got two offers of help for my garden. I think we could divide it in half, or just do the whole thing together. We'll look at it next week. She's one of the other artist in the coop art building where I rent a room. Fairhaven is full of artist and gardeners and writers, etc. A fun place to live. And the other offer was from Brenda. She has a tree in her yard that is dropping the most beautiful rusty brown leaves. I've offered to rake them so I can take them home to my plot. Huh, sounds a little morbid.

Well, my cat is biting my toes, so it's time for me to call it a night. Have a good sunny day, and hopefully you're ready for Halloween.

Ciao! Flower
