That Time Of Year!

 

10/5/2025

Today was my day to put out the

other bones and the girl at the front

door.   Just getting out what I can 

when I have extra time.

I am in hopes that the bones will 

stop the rodents/squirrels from 

digging in the dirt.

Just a little more to go!

Had to go out and take some photos 

of the glow!

Just adding more!

More Red!

 

This tree will be the last to come inside.

Just enjoying seeing it bloom.

2025 Set Goal

 This year we set a goal of Oct. 1 

to get all the plants put away.  It's

usually Oct. 15 but this year we 

up it to the first. 

I can say we are a little behind!

As of today I have 2 Clematis,

1 Perennial Hibiscus and 70%

of the roses to strip.

With the Yard Debris Bins

full!

Fall fertilizer was put down

last week so we can just coast.

Lots of dry dead spots in the 

lawn as the heat was terrible

this year.  

As of this evening I only have

one clematis that is in the ground

to cut back before starting on the 

roses.  Everything is put away, 

now to rearrange some things so

I will be able to get into the back 

areas.

Some of the Brugmansia are starting

to bloom again!  Photos on another 

post!

The last Clematis is now gone and 

in the yard recycle bin.   Rain delay!

This afternoon I started to strip the 

leaves off the roses.  I knew the white

flies would be bad by now.  Just taking 

their food away from them instead of 

spraying chemicals.

It's official I have the yard 99% cut back

in the front, now to work on the back.

Last Day of the month.....Happy Halloween!!

The Growing Season Ends

 Our Gardens are open May

1st to Oct. 1st by appointment

only!  So as we close the season

down, we hope you have enjoyed

what we do here.

This season has been the hardest

season to keep the garden going.

The higher temps than normal,

critters/insects, and all the dandelions

and thistle.

Oh The Color Red!!

 

That Time Of Year!

 When you bring in pots 

with a hitchhiker in the pot!

While bring in the front 

door flowering maples I 

sat them down after bring 

them in.  To my surprise

Onyx cornered a frog by 

the front door.  She knew 

it didn't belong in her

domain! 

I had to get it out of the 

house fast and give it a

good home in the greenhouse.

The minute it was placed in

a pot it just took off!  The 

door is wide open for now

out there so we will watch

the front area to see if it 

returns.

The same frog was found

over a week ago in some

hanging pots and had to 

be removed when they

were cut back and put away.

10/21/2025

Today while cutting the grass

back there sat that frog again.

He looked a little cold and I told

him I have a nice warm greenhouse

that he could live in!  He decided

to stay in the grass.
