I don't believe it...

I just realized that apart from one errand I'm going to run with a friend Saturday morning, I have the whole entire weekend to myself. That hasn't happened to me since... *checks agenda* July, or thereabouts.

Yeesh.

I'm going to take this as a sign. Once my errand on Saturday is done, I am going to stay home all weekend long and catch up on the quiet stuff that I haven't had a chance to get to for ages, if ever.

I need to put the garden to bed for the winter, finish putting together my shelves, and set up my new office space in the basement. Oh, and I need to do some cooking. November is right around the corner, and I'm going to need to make sure I have plenty of food to see me through the month.

I am also going to go to bed at a decent hour, watch some TV, and generally enjoy my alone time with the cats.

What do you do to put your garden to bed for the winter?

[mousme.livejournal.com]

Mostly I cut back plants, rake the leaves off the path, put away tools (and this year the garden furniture), and spread mulch over the beds. Nothing fancy.

How do you know when it's time to cut back the plants? Which ones do you cut back? Do you cut back your perennials?

Good idea to put away the tools. I don't have to do much with the garden furniture this year - I never took the tarp off them this summer o_0

I cut back some of the perennials, but not all. Depends which ones, and how long I've left it. ;)

How do you decide which perenials to cut back?

I've only got a few, so the choice is pretty easy. I prune the roses and the peonies. I also have a book on pruning, which is pretty comprehensive.

I guess it's time to go to the library or Google.
