The birds have stopped eating the seeds, so yes, tomorrow is the day to clean up my garden as well.Charliehttp://seattletrekker.com/category/gardeningnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-63937256221022593522012-12-12T16:53:46.568-06:002012-12-12T16:53:46.568-06:00The lawn looked pretty sad once we did that "...The lawn looked pretty sad once we did that "rake once late in the season" routine, but it will recover by spring. The only good thing about raking early is the swishing through big piles of dry leaves...not an option with our early rains this year.rickihttp://bannersbyricki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-73312701494471879452012-12-10T19:36:52.754-06:002012-12-10T19:36:52.754-06:00We used to be the very last to rake up leaves too....We used to be the very last to rake up leaves too...thanks to all the Oak Trees on our block. Now, however, we have so many renters that never rake them up...and now we practically look respectable!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-33815911794194289582012-12-10T17:01:52.470-06:002012-12-10T17:01:52.470-06:00Getting some comment spam there Alan. :(

Nothing in comparison to your Oak and Ash.<br /><br />Such beautiful compost they make. :) Hoover Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083294821646284424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-32603177988618968942012-12-10T14:29:52.277-06:002012-12-10T14:29:52.277-06:00The only leaves that get "raked" in my y...The only leaves that get "raked" in my yard are the ones the lawn mower can reach. And those we mostly mulch them right back into the grass. Luckily we don't have a lot or that plan might not work!<br /><br />Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185255434783858464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-66515454311304187572012-12-10T10:33:24.650-06:002012-12-10T10:33:24.650-06:00I share the same philosophy.

I'm still waiting for our purple cherry plum tree to drop the rest of its leaves before I do any major leaf removal.<br /><br />I hesitated for a long time before I bought a leaf blower but it's a great tool for blowing debris out of planting beds, nooks and crannies on the porch, etc. I don't use it often, but when I do, I'm very glad I have it.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-65392371651673892112012-12-10T08:42:13.708-06:002012-12-10T08:42:13.708-06:00I raked yesterday too.

Spring, not so much. My neighbor blows their patio off daily too with a big, noisy blower. Every afternoon, like clockwork. It drives me a little crazy.
