Episode 24: Beauty in transitions

In this episode . . .

A frost narrowly avoided. Changing leaves, and beautiful Boston ivy. The local woodchip and leaf economy. Some cutting back (but mostly not). Surprise radishes. Cold frames and improvised low tunnels. Native seed sitting. Bulb planting tips. And a goodbye, or maybe a see you later.

Otherwise this week, I’m . . .

Savouring: The colours of the leaves and their crunch underfoot.

Tending: Cutting back diseased plants, planting spring bulbs, digging up and dividing dahlias.

Harvesting: Parsley, sage, kale, chard, green onions.

I said it in the podcast, but I’ll say it again: if you have feedback on this experiment, this season, I’d love to hear it. I’m not sure if Gardening Out Loud has a future, but feedback from devoted listeners will help determine that. And the episodes will nevertheless remain online if you need a dose of the growing season during the winter.

Thanks, from the bottom of my heart, for your attention this season.
