Fall Work Party - a small but dedicated crew


The October 4th work party was very successful, despite the dismal lack of attendance - 13 members out of the 46 total membership attended.

We had a lovely morning chopping up the big pile of plant material at the back of the garden to feed to the compost... bundling up refuse for the city to collect... cleaning and oiling the common tools... and of course the perennial weeding... all the while, a gentle fall breeze keeping us company.



Four things to do before Sunday evening:

1. Check out the David Hunter 55th anniversary sale - I got a wicked pair of Felco #2's for 50% off. What a deal.

2. Go back and admire the absence of the green pile at the back of the garden :)

3. Plant more bulbs. Thx to whoever left the 'Deirdre' tulip bulbs in gardenflower's garden. I always wanted a flower named after me!

4. Divide and transplant... plant garlic.

Dahlias dahling...



What's not to love about our fall dahlias?







Compost anyone?

Diane admires Stuart's handiwork.


Rumour has it that the lids will have a weighted hinge. Cool.

Thanks to Alison for submitting these fall images.
