Practice what you Preach

There is a myth that if you write about gardens you must have a perfect garden. Alas in my case that is not quite true, but I do make an effort.

So yesterday I was writing about fall garden chores. One of the most important, I said, was to rake the leaves from pathways and lawns. Leaving them lying on the grass and sidewalks makes for a wet slimy slippery mess, when it rains. Georgia is in a drought, but the weather forecasters are usually right when they say rain. That was the case yesterday - and they had forecast the damp weather all week - rain being a novelty right now. Did I rake up the leaves? nope. I now have a soggy pathway to the car, and a slippery slope to the compost area. Maybe there will be time over the weekend to do that chore!
