consider these new titles for the gardener on your

From Stan -
What a difference a year makes. Last fall the
rains never came and my plants were suffering. This
year the fall rains are back and it has not yet frozen.
Because of this, I have been busy working in my yard
creating new flower beds, trimming trees (wanted and
unwanted) and enjoying the surprising plants in the
garden. I have narcissus in bloom in my front yard
while the narcissus bulbs in the back are still
underground and asleep.
The Dutch Iris bulbs I planted this fall are
already coming up and I can't wait for winter to come
and go. With all the rain we have seen in October and
November, the flowers next spring should be
incredible. In the meantime, I am looking at books
from the garden club library for ideas on plants which
I can plant in the spring which will bloom next fall
when the my gardens look so dull. This is a handy
source for reading material when winter finally arrives.
