A little late to the October to-do list… but in my defence, I’ve been busy doing the things on it. 😂
✅The dahlias are dug, divided and tucked away for winter. ✅The grain harvest is finished (which calls for a deep exhale around here). ✅I’ve been cleaning up garden messes, putting things away, ✅preserving the last of the garden goodness, and ✅meeting with brides who are dreaming about 2027.
I’ve also been doing a little baking and giving home and family some attention again.
There’s still plenty to do, but after a full-on growing season, I’m giving myself a little breathing room before my brain starts dreaming up next year’s gardens.
Five seasons of growing flowers. Fifteen couples celebrated this year. More community events than ever. More rain than I care to remember. And a whole lot of beautiful things in between.
I’m tired, grateful, and already a little curious about what next year might hold. But for now, I’m going to finish putting this season to bed.
What’s on your October to-do list? 🍂
