Beautiful day, sunny & high of 61 degrees. Made it to the garden - woo hoo!

So I was digging up potatoes ... oh wait, I didn't plant potatoes ..... but I WAS digging up my dahlia bushes. These are the roots from ONE bush. My SIL walked across the field to see what I was doing & she almost fell down laughing at how large the roots were - I have a 2nd bush equally as large!

The goal today was to get all the fence panels down & all the plant debris (tomatoes, peppers, spaghetti squash, dahlias & weeds) out of the beds and hauled away. I got close - 2 fence panels left & 1 dahlia bush.

Tomorrow is supposed to warmer and also a very nice day, so I will be back in the garden again :-)

Tubers .....

Yay for Tubers!

My Dahlia were really lush this season, too. But, I don’t keep them. $5 bags of Walmart tubers in the Spring are good enough for me.

We’ve had two days of 50’s temps. You’ll be proud to know that Beau had the mower out yesterday (mowing on December 7th?!) to round up leaves for insulation across the north side of the house, where the kitchen is located...and the only real ‘problem area’ in the house.

I still had Flat-Leaf Parsley to use on steamed potatoes with supper tonight, (Pot Roast - Yay!) and I have Petunias still blooming in the greenhouse in a hanging basket I never dumped into the compost bin.

It’s been a really weird Fall; we’ll most likely pay for all of this come January when we’re snowed in for a few weeks. ;)
