We have enjoyed some decent fall weather over the last couple of days. Excuse enough to be out in the garden…basking in the end of the season landscape. And to get more of those end-of-season chores attended to!

I have posted a list of what still needs to be done in the garden in October. You will find the list in “Gardening Info & Tips” under “In the Garden” on the main menu bar. Or you can use the quick link here.

Make the most of the good days we have left in the garden. Foul weather is in the forecast. In fact, the weatherman is forecasting lows of 2 °C (35.6 °F) and 3 °C (37.4 °F) early next week.

I fear there may be a repeat of an early frost again this year. Last year’s first frost date (FFD) fell on October 4th. The earliest one we have ever had here, since I started keeping weather records over 20 years ago.
