Smoothie Land

To me, fall time is the prettiest time of the year. The leaves begin to turn colors even a painter can’t duplicate. This is also the time of the year that we get to do prep work for the next spring. We have over 2 acres and our property is surrounded by trees, so we have a large amount of leaves to get up and try to keep up so it won’t kill the grass. That is probably our largest job, our next is trimming all of my Althea bushes (commonly known as Rose of Sharon), hedge bushes, and fruit trees (that’s another post). It has become a lot of work in the last few years since we moved into the new place, but should not be as much from now on since we have it cleared out and under control. My biggest tip for gardening of any kind is to buy yourself a Farmer’s Almanac every single year and follow it according to your zone. The years we have followed it, we have great crops; the years we don’t, they don’t produce much. Now that could be a coincidence, but who wants to chance it.

Happy Gardening!
