Fall Update

Hello Fellow Gardeners -

What an amazing fall we're having so far! I am loving the weather and enjoying the last-minute blooming of some of my plants.

1. As many are starting their fall cleanup, I thought you might enjoy some information from the Wayne County Cornell Cooperative regarding fall cleanup. Topics include composting, protection from rodent damage, as well as other information.

Remember that this is a great time to get your spring-growing bulbs, such as daffodils and tulips, into the ground!

2. For those us fortunate enough to visit Audrey Ferris' garden this past year, just a tip if your rose clipping rooted. Audrey recommends keeping the glass jar on top of the cutting to provide a little protection from the cold and snow.

Let me know if your rose clippings survived. Three of mine have survived and I am looking forward to see what new roses I have for next year!

3. I wanted to thank those gardeners who have been generous in donating their "hardy annuals" to the Garden Club. We are still open to donations so please keep us in mind if you're thinning your gardens or if you have hardy annuals (ex. gerbera daisies, geraniums, canna, dahlias, etc.) that you would like to donate to us. You can contact me or John Ferrante for pick up.

We are currently planning the remaining month's gardening lectures. If you have suggestions, feel free to contact me.

Happy Gardening!
