More Leaves

The last yard waste pickup of the year missed my neighbour's house around the corner. Twenty-three bags of great leaves. What a great opportunity to top off each of the beds to which we had just added fifteen yards of aged cow manure. The leaves will help to minimize erosion in the beds this fall and next spring; and once we get to spring, the worms will take over and incorporate everything into the soil. What a great find!

Here's what the entire garden looked like after we were finished and you can see how the individual beds have changed since we started photographing each bed last April.
