The beds have been cleared and the last potted plants are moving into their winter quarters - it's slowly getting quiet in the garden, and that's how it should be. Because between the piles of leaves garden animals are now looking for their winter quarters. In the berry bushes there is a lot of hustle and bustle for the last tidbits and in the flowerbeds nuts are hidden. So we plant a few tubs with winter bloomers and then make ourselves comfortable in the house. There are indoor plants in need of care and winter garden recipes waiting.
