Dale's garden update --
click for Dale's Garden Page
-- We may not see the ground until
spring. Time to start
looking at the seed and plant catalogues. My compost has been put to bed for the
winter and I've "planted" my composter in its top. The composter provides a nice
locking lid I can use all winter to dump my kitchen compost and the black
composter does collect some heat from the sun. John would refer to this as
'solar thermal' .
It is time to start thinking
about next spring's plantings. We will have our tree sale information available
by mid-January..
Our leftover plants are all
banked for the coming winter. Survivors will be available in the spring.
Click here for the list of what we hope to have.
