lady--

I still have ALL the bagged/shredded leaves from last fall in the bags under my bushes. Never used them this Spring. Should be just perfect next year. it takes about 2 seasons for the leaves to compost....
I have a hard time digging these into the beds--as all my back yard beds have the maple roots in them.
You can see the trunk of the red maple in the above picture. It is much 'daintier" than the monster Silver maple in the back yard.

I own a mulching mower and NEVER ever bag grass clippings.
I may just have to run it over these leaves--even if I have to do it twice. Raking and getting rid of them seems a waste of "liquid gold".....

If you look closely--you can see the black bags under those tall evergreens. Just went out to count them. There atr 6. Room for maybe 3 or 4 more.
SO pretty outside! Was going to straighten and clean my guest room--NOPE! My garden beckons----
Out with the mulching mower!!!!! Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....
Catch my Vitamin D while I still can.....:o)
