Quilt Zone Closing Mystery

It’s starting to look empty in the Quilt Zone. Kinda spooky, maybe mysterious – like where did all this stuff go? Maybe it’s time for a Quilt Zone Mystery.

You clean them out and cut them down in the spring. Ignore them for 4 months – don’t weed, don’t fertilize, don’t wonder if they are getting enough water. And before you know it there is a dense prickly thicket taller than your head loaded with gallons of delicious berries for you to turn into scones or jam or ice cream topping. It’s like magic.
