Thread Name: BS: The September/Fall Garden
Subject: RE: BS: The September Garden
I have a plot in a public garden in Boston but have done nothing in it since July because of my leg injury. I am hoping to get over there this coming weekend with a friend and do some much needed weeding, subdivide and transplant some peonies, and lay down some mulch. I am also expecting some bulbs I mail ordered so they will have to go in.
I only grow flowrs, I would love to grow berries or other edibles, but the idiots in the plot next to me break the rules and spray RoundUp on their weeds (killing my flowers in the process) so I don't want to eat anything with pesticide residue on it.

Last time I was over there in July the hollyhocks were ten feet high! Lots of different colors planted by ther plot's previous caretaker.Lots of peonies, irises and alliums, daffodils, roses. I also have two big lilac trees, a large wild rose hedge and some forsythia hedges.

I want to plant some tulips bulbs and also have a bunch of various hyacinths to plant this fall. Looking forwrad to getting back to it. Before my accident I was in there 10-15 hours a week, at least.
