Time To Focus On The Fall Cut Back

Plus move all the special plants inside!  

 

There is still plenty that is still blooming

so they will be left until last.  After the 

the Brugmansia are put way, it's time to 

go bed by bed and remove what I can.  

Also time to put down the Fall fertilizer.

Time to also harvest seeds!!

I was also asked why the early cut back.

Some of the items we are not saving seeds

and so it can be cut back once the leaves 

start to yellow.  It is also time to treat irises

and they can be cut back.  I will also be 

stripping the rose leaves, less mess.  This

past weekend I started to cut back the 

Clematis due to mildew, less mess.  But

have left some as they are blooming like

crazy, the bees still need to eat.  The Pollen

is lacking in some plants so they too can 

go.    Really I just don't do the cooler 

weather like I used to be able to do.
