MONDAY MUSING: WINTER INTEREST- BYE, BYE, BYE

What a gorgeous weekend and opportunity to get some air. And in the End of the Rainbow Valley, a perfect reason to be out working in the garden. It was time for me to start working on removing all that 'winter interest - translated: dead brush from the flower beds. 

While Natureman put in 2 long days rototilling and planting seed potatoes, onion sets, peas, chard, lettuce and spinach seed, my mission was to fill the large cart with old plant stalks, dead grass and leaves which was then all dumped downhill.  

By the end of the second day neither of us was moving as quickly as the day before but we made the most of both 70 degree days as temps will be dropping.  (We even had a light frost last night and the low will be 31 on Friday night with a hard frost. )

Glad the winter interest is gone. My next endeavor is pulling out the stuff I don't want growing - like weeds. And no that's not 'summer interest' unless you like dandelions and invasive plants taking over...

Bye bye winter interest!
