Leaf Day
Lucky day, today! And a beautiful fall day: 70F and sunny. I saw a great number of bags of leaves just down the street. So I knocked on the door to ask permission and was greeted by a fellow gardener and writer...a nice bit of serendipity. I loaded 23 bags of leaves in my truck and hauled them all to the compost area.
I cleaned up most all of the leaves in the yard and mulched them right away. I also put mulched leaves on the garlic and spinach and then covered them with a thick layer of aged straw. I put a floating row cover over the garlic and a couple of old paper leaf bags over the spinach straw, just to keep them from blowing away...and snow due tomorrow.
