"To everything there is a season....Turn Turn Turn." The Birds" (Quoting Ecclesiastes from the Bible.)
Here in West Central Saskatchewan, Canada, it is time to put our gardens to bed for the winter. Fall is upon us as the colours of the leaves still on the trees will witness.
We put all the mulch from around our yard into the garden and till it in. I don't use other fertilizers or any chemicals for that matter. Over the years I have tilled in peat and sphagnum moss and the garden is nice to walk on after it has been roto-tilled.
From spring to fall the garden is a great place for therapy. Helping things grow and eating good natural foods is good for the soul and body. We dig up our herbs and spices put them into pots and move them into the house so we can enjoy them during the long Canadian winter.
I think when I retire I might build a greenhouse off the end of my shop. It faces South so it should get as much sun as possible. I could draw heat from my shop and install UV lights to ensure that plants in the greenhouse get as much light as needed to grow well.
Enjoy your gall everyone. Winter snows will soon be upon us.
