TONS of stuff to do this fall! Spent the whole day yesterday bringing in our Begonias and tropicals from the deck in anticipation of the frost tonight - good thing we did because it's below 32 NOW! Still have plants to get in the ground but with the rain we've received in the last weekend I can't spend much time in the garden until it dries out a little. We've been busy planting trees and shrubs in a new 'arboretum' we're starting and need to get it mulched. Deer don't usually cause us any huge headaches, but they're already discovered the new planting, disrupted a few things and chewed down a few conifers :( Picture of the field where we're planting - doesn't show much except the scale of the project and our conifer bed on the left that was planted three years ago (unfortunately we hadn't moved the trailer with hay before taking the picture).
