On September 28th, Mary Devlin (a long-time friend and gardening buddy who retired to Arizona) flew in to spend nine days here in Michigan working in my yard. She was assisted by an army of volunteers who answered the call to come help put my gardens to bed for the winter. It was truly an amazing feat.
All of the work I usually spend all summer and fall doing was completed in one fell swoop. (I am sure the waste management people about choked when they pulled up to my house.) Consider this:
- 97 bags of yard waste were taken to the curb on the first trash day
- 21 additional bags were dragged to the street the following trash day
- hundreds of plants were cut back
- dozens of shrubs and trees were trimmed
- 32 pounds of Preen was spread
- 104 bags of mulch were laid down
- 44 pots were emptied and washed and stored
Just look how magnificent our yard looks.
Thank goodness for the generosity of our friends and family. We would be lost with out their assistance. This kind of support makes me confident I can do anything - including kicking melanoma's ass!
