I just said good-bye to the vegetable garden of 2013, taking advantage of this warm, breezy afternoon to pull up the dead plants and spread straw. The sunflowers were long gone and the zinnias, celosia, salvia, gomphrena and pumpkins got hit by the frost a week or so ago. The snapdragons are hanging in there and I actually might get a few more bouquets. Not bad for the end of October!
My next chore is to dig up and divide the Peruvian daffodils; they have lovely and fragrant flowers, but the bulbs seem to multiply each season like Bartholomew Cubbins' hats.
There are already amaryllis bulb kits being sold in the grocery stores. Despite their low price, I always have great luck with them.
