Dear Friends,
I hope you have enjoyed this gift of glorious fall weather. What a luxury to put our gardens to sleep for the winter before the first sleet or snowfall. And how often can we empty, wash, sun-dry and store our containers in late October with temperatures still in the 70s!

For the first time in all 16 years of workshops, Shirley Meneice was absent, stuck at home in California following a bad fall. Shirley is one of the GCA’s stalwarts, a champion of horticulture practice and programs, and the greatest supplier of seeds to GCA Seed Share.

I cut hundreds of dahlias each week from August through October. I tried various sizes and shapes of flower cutting tools and these are by far the most productive for quick snipping. Easy to sharpen (which I do at least weekly), they make nice clean cuts which allow for maximum hydration in buckets. Their narrow handle is great for my small hands and the narrow tip makes it easy to get to the base of each stem no matter how tangled the plant becomes.
