We are in our Cleanup Season and this year we will bypass the composting as age is taking it’s toll on both of us. I pulled the cornstalks and will let nature take care of them while my wife pulled a large bed of Statice and mulched a flower bed with them. I will plant a cover crop in the beds that the deer can’t get to. I have never had Garlic be this far along for this time of the year and I am going to take the row cover off and put down the bird netting to keep the Skunks from digging in the rice hull mulch as the Remay is not garlic friendly at this stage. OH MY... Lady Bender just brought me a Hot Brandy with a slice of lemon on top so I’m taking a timeout ...

I posted a reply to this several hours ago, but computer has been slow all day, and it appears it never finished posting. So sorry - I wasn’t ignoring you.

I too just don’t have the energy to do a lot anymore. My composting consists of dumping kitchen scraps, some shredded paper or fall leaves on top, and the occasional dump of a pot of flowers that have finished blooming.

That brandy sounded good - have never tried it hot. Hope you enjoyed it.
