Favorite Fall Prep Time...

This fall is what I call a real  Indian Summer warm sunny days and cool nights. I have been working on garden projects redoing the raspberries and treaking the tayberries.
Making up soil for transplanting, Black Gold (composted seaweed), Peat Moss and existing garden soil. Rototill'd  ready to go.
Late season blooms, deer in the back forty
Four Favorites, H and K Tunstall plate, Sylvac Mr. Pickwick, Medalta Jug and Copper with personality !
Black Gold Time!
 Have a great weekend one and all!     Happy Birthday to my wife Wendy!

  6. Beautiful looking soil. Lucky you! I'm surprised you have any flowers left with the deer munching. Especially the roses. They are really dining in my yard now.

  7. I'm loving Mr. Pickwick! I think I've been to Vancouver ~ is that where Expo was many moons ago? Also, flew in there for an Alaskan cruise.
    Your flowers are beautiful ~ I can see why (:

  11. Hi Rob,
    Looks like you are good to go for the next planting season. Speaking of planting, one of our ministers is heading to Vancouver Island to live and plant churches! I hope to go and help one summer...looks like a beautiful place to live. I am visiting from A Favorite Thing Saturday and am your newest follower.
