Okay, so I thought I was a little behind due to the composting frenzy. I
forgot to water or mulch and fully expected the freezes to finish off the
lilies and things and get ready for a Winter nap (me, too). But, nothing
really froze back..........
I see irises and the wild lilies putting up new spikes, so I go out and
grab a few bags of leaves to mulch mow and spread before the last rain.
Perfect timing...
So, I can't resist going and getting many more this week and filling all
the beds in back with leaf mulch. The compost heap has stabilized at about 4
ft., is very hot, but needs turning. If I dig down a couple of feet, there
is finished stuff, .......

.....which I'll need because two irises are getting ready to *bloom*.
Okay, I'm not behind for doing Fall stuff, I'm just ahead for Spring........
