Don’t Catch Your ZZZs Yet


It’s a typical fall morning in New England. Frost covers the lawn, leaves fall in mass quantity and the garden snoozer button sounds one of its last plant warning horns. There are always chores and miscellaneous items to do but the bulk of our growing season’s list is near completion. Our garden thoughts turn cautiously to hibernating and indoor activities and any outdoor chores require extra clothing and limited daylight. Just the thought of it can make you numb, wondering if you want to venture out into the soil and plant your garlic, peonies or bulbs.

The inspirational quote today is by Robert Collier. “Pictures help you to form the mental mold.” So here is a great video to help you picture what you need to do with planting your bareroot Peonies. http://www.whiteflowerfarm.com/video-planting-peonies.html Photos and illustrated how-to’s are a good way to get yourself outdoors and still in the garden. Don’t let the frost nip your chores in the bud. It’s not time to catch up on your garden ZZZs yet.
