November 9 "R" Garden

a quick trip over to "R" Garden ..... time to cut down the dahlias (still haven't decided if I will dig the tubers) and put down more leaf mulch

before:

and after ...... decided to cut down the very large two-year-old kale ..... a mildew magnet and not used much for food; cut the dahlia stems very short and cored then to prevent rain from getting into the seals and rotting the tubers ...... still need a few more bags of leafs

I do like this kale so it gets to stay another year ..... gladiola behind kale didn't provide much colour this  year ...... their fate still to be decided
