It’s that time of year when we start pulling out spent flower and vegetable plants, and dibbying them up between the goats, chickens, and compost. Last year I was quite lazy, and I ended up leave way too much clean-up work un-done. That might have created a lovely winter habitat for the local birdlife, but it also created a huge mess for me (and double the work) in the spring.
So I am very focused on staying on top of it this year. I stopped to admire the spent sunflowers while I was outside today. It will be a little while before I can completely pull these out, they are actually really pretty at this stage.
