Holiday Festivities at Swanson's Nursery

Swanson's Nursery kicked off the holiday season with a holiday open house last night. There were reineer, shopping discounts, free booze, and hourly drawings. I didn't find anything to spend my money on but did snap a bunch of pics.

Putting the Garden to Bed

I found a supply of burlap at Cafe Vita on Capitol Hill at their roaster. The main plot is officially put to bed. Interestingly, my cyclamen coum has sprouted underneath one of the hellebore plants. It won't bloom until next February though. Also, I'll have to prune the fuchsia after the first frost of winter. Otherwise, besides picking some spinach and broccoli, there won't be much to do until next January.
