My gingko today.

This year we got almost no fall color. I suppose it depends on the weather, for in other falls we have had up to three weeks of outstanding clear, bright yellow. I did see some gingkos in good color this fall, but these were all in other parts of the city and three or four weeks ago.

Where did all those leaves go? On my pool cover, of course. Hours of fun await me fishing those out! Actually quite a few fell in the garden too, making a thick blanket of mulch. The leaves will look like hell by spring, all blechy brown, but things grow up around them quickly enough, and by late June they are altogether gone.

Levelallium, I should have! It is a veritable blizzard when they fall. Amazing.
