On Monday there were three of us working again. Julie Holmes worked on emptying the Faerie Garden hardscape and putting things away for the winter. Betty Marcus watered the trees and shrubs in the back of the house and the main garden. I did some clean-up of the vegetable beds and then helped Julie.
Thursday brought a larger crew and we all worked on putting away the garden. I spent my time with the vegetable beds and sensory pots, mulching and adding some compost. Linda Guarino worked on the garden map and helped others finish projects. Sue Ordway took down gazebo pots, and worked on the compost. Judith Chaddock and Whitney Fessler watered indoors and cleaned up plants. Whitney will help during the winter. Crys Wells worked on emptying and cleaning the rain barrels for the winter. Joe Harte came and disconnected the rain barrels and help put away the bird baths. Leslie Stone finished tying up roses, taking down birdhouses, and cleaning/putting away hardscape.
To do the last few weeks:
Water indoors and outdoors as needed
Remove plants from front of house
Organize the greenhouse
Clean the small shed and tools
Deadhead Shasta daisy, hollyhock and Mexican Hat
Cover tree trunks
Spread the last of the mulch
Put the table, umbrella, and chairs away
Put bench in north garden away

For the next few weeks we will work from 9am-12pm, as the weather is cold and we are almost finished.
Thanks,
Loni
