Mid-Atlantic Gardening: Over wintering ?, 1 by Gitagal

Ruby,

I am pretty much done with taking things in, except my Amaryllis, my Epis and my X-mas cactus. I leave the X-mas cactus out until they get several nights of a good chill. They make flower buds better that way. Then when I do bring them in, they are already covered with tiny buds all over the place.

My Epis.....I need to make 2 hangers for them. Gotta haul out the old macramé yarns. Two of them need to hang. The third one, a white night blooming Cereus (hasn't bloomed yet for me) is too upright.

I am plugging away best I can. Been a bit earlier cleaning up all my beds than usual. Feels good to have so much done already. Still lots to go.

We had some serious rain/T-showers Monday night. It poured! Then, later in the night it rained again. Everything is nice and moist--finally!

I hope you get some rain soon.

I hope you all are watching your Datura seed pods like hawks. They are really splitting open now. Cut them off and dry the seeds before they all get spewed in your beds.

Here's my Pregnant Onion. Dig those bloom stalks!!!!
