Oh my goodness, thank you for sharing!
As you could see, most of my plants have dry leaves. And are surrounded by dry tree leaves.Wow, some of you still have flowers! All I have is dry leaves now. I've saved a lot of seeds. some from plants I bought and some harvested from interesting looking things I found on my walks. Hope some of them will grow.
Yep, tomatoes are sun lovers.Well, my first attempt at growing Heirloom tomatoes was an epic fail. I got about 18 tomatoes bu none turned red.
Some are still growing but I think it's time to remove the plant. Nicole said next year plant them in full sun so i'll
try that. My Cherry's turned out well.
I collected some of the heads from the phlox and dried them to collect the seeds, and will try planting them next year.Wow, some of you still have flowers! All I have is dry leaves now.

I did. But yesterday was pretty nice, so I went out and cut down most of the perennials. Now the Japanese Lantrens are gone, along with the Sedums, and the marigolds. I left the Geraniums for now, but I think the colder temps by the weekend will probably do them in. It's going to be nice again today, though, so think I'll mow the lawn, possibly for the last time this year, and plant those bulbs.Wow, some of you still have flowers!
Yes, we got about 10 inches of snow overnight, with more on the way. Also, according to the weather people, our high temperature for today should set an all-time record- for the lowest high temp on this date. The previous one was 31 degrees, and it's not supposed to get out of the 20s today.
As I mentioned upthread, my geraniums are still in the ground and still alive. I was reading earlier about over wintering them in a garage. Might try. Only thing my garage, though attached, is unheated, and when it's really cold out, it can get near freezing in there.a few pots of geraniums that were still blooming until a few days ago.
That happened to my Mom once. They'd had sparrows nesting in the bird houses in the spring, and when Dad took them down, Mom decided to look inside one. Not a good idea! It was crawling with bugs! She wasn't impressed. And I'm not sure if they ever put out bird houses again.DH came home in time to help me flush out one of the birdhouses that ants had taken over! I was NOT expecting that when I opened it up!
I LOVE raspberries! My dad planted red and black raspberries in the back yard, and one of my favorite memories is of helping him tend—and eat them!
My late in-laws had raspberry bushes around their old sheep shed, and it was an annual thing to pick them before the birds got them all.I LOVE raspberries! My dad planted red and black raspberries in the back yard, and one of my favorite memories is of helping him tend—and eat them!
