November Past By with Temps Above Normal…

Fall Sun on Saranac Lake
Yesterday did some envelope stuffing for our local Capital District Community Gardens, happy to be able to do that, raking is out of the question since had surgery on shoulder, some tearing but mainly bone scraping and tendon shortening, now in physical therapy.
But my first love is still available to do: designing gardens, and it is time to look at what you want to change for next year. Read a great book about the American Meadow, hope to institute some ideas in my daughter’s yard in the spring. Also doing some “studying” reading, “Understanding Perennials, A New Look at an Old Favorite,: by William Cullina. He really gets into the basics of botany of plants, almost a refresher for me, but the book goes beyond that with beautiful full color pictures and good descriptions.
