Beautiful Day! A cool fall day of sun is a gift from God. The trees are starting to blush with color, and soon the Great Dig Out will begin in earnest. Bags of leaves by the dozen pile up in front of houses in our neighborhood like sand bags in a flood zone. I piled several on the garden last year as a mulch, which helped with early weeding, but caused a drastic over-population of slugs. If slugs were a fine cuisine, we would have been in good shape. I captured over 8000 this past spring! I'll enjoy the beautiful fall while it lasts, before the grays and browns of winter take over. And the inner debate about throwing away all that good organic material vs spending my spring evenings out back picking up slimers will continue.
