I think I raked up about that many leaves! LOL. Dug up some tender perennials and brought them in. Lots and lots of mulching! Transplanted a rose (possible mistake there). Took cuttings, collected seeds. Put some more rocks in the rock garden. U know, I did more than I thought! ;>

Productive Weekend here too!
Raked, shredded and re-mulched the leaves into the beds. We have been doing this for the last two years and the beds seem to be thriving from the extra mulch. We have allot of hardwoods on our lot that are not done dropping all of their leaves....so the work will continue until they are through (maybe after Christmas). When all the leaves are down, we will re-rake the beds, shredd, then rototill with the small rototiller to enrich the soil in the late winter. We then apply a pine straw or bark mulch over the leaf mold. It seems to be working for us!....Dianne

Very productive work here too... planted a mass of Ice Plant given to me, and lots of Evening Primrose, also given to me. Still trading and planting here in the Piedmont. Planted Carolina Jasmine and a Lilac division.
