Then I started taking down the veggie garden, first I pulled the electric fence and the watering hose and then the tomato cages and the supports that I had made when the corn stalks were blown over. Those worked out pretty well, by the way.
After I stored all that stuff in the barn, I went to work on the garden border fences. Judy had pulled several of them up, so I just had to fold, tie and label them. It doesn’t sound like so much, but it took all day.
Today started overcast and began to rain hard in the afternoon. I finished the garden work in the morning before the rain. All the fences are stored, and all the supports, stakes, hoops, ties are put away in the garage. More of them will probably appear when I cut down all the dead stalks after a hard frost. Now the perennials are mostly still green and some still flowering.
A flock of six turkeys cruised the yard in the afternoon, ignoring the rain. They were busy eating something [seeds?] in the grass as they moseyed from one side of the yard to the other and then crossed the road.
New blooms: cimicfuga, witch-hazel.
Yesterday: Chloe doesn't mind the wet grass. Notice that the sun is out, by mid-morning it was beautiful and clear and dry.
Turkeys came out of the woods and were busy eating something in the grass as they strolled through the yard....
and headed across the road.
