Fall is here in a big way

Fall is here in a big way. Gobs of leaves to pickup with the riding mower. And it is warm enough here in northern California that the grass is still growing at a good clip.

I station our John Deere Gator XUV 825i out near the lawns and dump all the clippings in it. The big bed on the Gator is super nice but I even added some cardboard to the front and sides so I can dump even more this time of year. The amount in the bed here is five double bags from the mower. This all goes out to the compost pile and eventually into the garden.
