Hello Friends, Today I am sharing the article I wrote for the Cameron Chronicle, “The Little Paper With Personality.”

Weeds

By Carla TePaske of Cameron WI ~ The Little Garden That Could

October is here. Cold and warm air mingle together. Our light turns golden and we start to put the garden to bed.

A very important autumn job to do is pull weeds. Hopefully you can pull weeds before the seeds drop. With dry soil and rain during September, new weeds have germinated. Use the opportunity of any dry October day to tickle the surface with a hoe, the quickest way of killing thousands of weed seedlings in a short time.

Other jobs for the month of October.

Add mulch.

Put your leaves to work for you. Use them as a mulch for your garden.

Plant tulips, daffodils, allium, crocus and other spring flowers.

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are October’s.”
