Preparing the PLOT for Winter Sleep
Several “Friends of the PLOT” showed up today to help prepare the PLOT for the coming winter. A mulch of seaweed and leaves was added to the beds to discourage the weeds, and to encourage the earthworms to work their magic.
Vickie Cammack and Al Etmanski, both recipients of the Order of Canada and both supporters of the garden, added their elbow grease to the work party and their lively conversation to the Sunday Picnic.
The spectacular liquidambar leaves that we gathered for mulch, yes, they do look like liquid amber in the fall sunshine, lent a festive feel to a wonderful day.
