THOSE AUTUMN LEAVES OF RED AND GOLD...

that drift by the window...keep them! They provide a much needed blanket and free food for all your plantings, so unless you are willing to add organic compost to your trees, shrubs and perennials every spring, allow the leaves to stay all winter, and just remove the excess in spring. (no bark mulch required)

If you remembered to plant daffodils, hyacinths, or snowdrops this Autumn (its not too late!) you will be pleasantly surprised to see them popping up-something to look forward too!
