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.
