My lasagna beds are not very deep yet, so I spread the contents of two of my big containers over the garlic. Hopefully, the potting soil will provide enough food to get the garlic growing well in the spring. Meanwhile, those worms I saw today better get in gear!
Also planted jonquils (Giant Yellow for Naturalizing), Fondant hyacinth, and pink grape hyacinth. The hyacinth went around the smoke bush, while the jonquils wound up here, there, and everywhere.
And my SO, aka Mulch Man, spread more mulch around the shrubs.
Oh, and that tree from my previous post? Not a maple. We got up close and personal and discovered it has small purple fruit. I'm guessing flowering crab. Of course, when I try to find photos online of flowering crab trees, all I can find are spring pix, not fall ones.
Now, because I am too pooped to write anymore, here are a few pictures from around the yard.
Serviceberry (AmElanchier x Grandiflora 'Autumn Brilliance'):
Chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia 'Brilliant') (and my neighbor's sailboat, which is for sale, if anyone is interested):
Sargent viburnum (Viburnum sargentii 'Onondaga'):
Rhododendron 'PMJ':
Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood'):
Burning bush:
