Your bird visitors will manage well until your return. Slowly but surely my garden is being put to bed too - Thank you so much for the link to my blog:o) <br />Your Butternuts look wonderful (my favourites), I've never grown them, but I do know they have a good shelf life and will keep in a dry, cool place for some weeks, or why not roast and then freeze them, they'll be ready for your return.<br />Your garden angel looks so serene :o) Enjoy the garden before you lave on your travels!Rose H (UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03502158211136467582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-18721374200987059462011-10-11T11:24:12.117-04:002011-10-11T11:24:12.117-04:00I love the idea of putting the garden to rest for ...I love the idea of putting the garden to rest for the winter. A hedgehog would be delightful. We do have the squirrels who are very busy preparing for winter. I laughed yesterday as one very ambitious squirrel climbed a little trellis in our garden and jumped onto the sunflowers, then snagged a drying blossom and carried it away. It was so fun to watch. No wonder we have sunflowers growing in unusual places in the yard.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-32878018289198965752011-10-11T10:02:26.774-04:002011-10-11T10:02:26.774-04:00Hi Mary.

As for putting the garden to bed, we tend to leave it until early spring, so that the birds have full use of the seeds etc. and the bugs have plenty of places in which to hide.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-31915283355920187592011-10-11T09:01:48.157-04:002011-10-11T09:01:48.157-04:00Love your blog.

We still are growing beans, peas and peppers. We also have butternut squash, that I planted in July I think. This is the first time I planted it. Our friends who are gardeners said they are ready to pick when the vine they are attached to dries out. If you pick them too soon, they will be green. Also butternut squash after picking can be kept in a cool place for up to 6 months!<br />Hugs,<br />PennyPenny from Enjoying The Simple Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480355122441712250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-58032557543407863392011-10-11T08:11:59.645-04:002011-10-11T08:11:59.645-04:00No garden work for me today as it's raining bu...No garden work for me today as it's raining but I do enjoy putting my garden to bed for the winter. I've done three really big jobs but still have lts of cutting back, weeding and mulching to do. All the birdfeeders are out now which is one if the really important autumn remains to be seen.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-63191339926576548932011-10-11T07:49:46.455-04:002011-10-11T07:49:46.455-04:00We did have a rather extreme year when it comes to...We did have a rather extreme year when it comes to the weather.

Maybe if I take my computer into the garden and listen to your playlist while I'm doing all this work it will be 'lovely.' I've bought the mulch (even placed it at strategic points in the yard) and just need to get a few bundles of pine straw for the blueberrys and soon - well, someday, I'll put my Texas garden to bed.cJoyhttp://joyandcomfort.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
