soilsandup, that's really nice to have Asters lasting this long. They are one of my favorites and not many people around here grow them. They are so easy and take no care, I don't understand why they are so underused here. I had some wild ones show up in my bed this year, and I am delighted.

GE, Thank you. That traffic can get up to 55 mph at times. Sometimes I get wind burned working out in that bed. I don't know if anyone notices the mums, but they surely do notice my bulbs in the spring. People stop all of the time. You should see the techniques that DSO and I use to trim the trees with the oncoming traffic. As the giant limbs fall, I run out into the street to retrieve them and hope I don't trip in front of an oncoming car. The motorists have looks of sheer terror on their faces when they see big limbs falling into the street!!
