Well Gloria,
I was outside all day Friday putting in the ground about 100 pots that have sat on my driveway all summer!!
I got so far behind that i was afraid of losing all my stuff. But I braved the cold and got all but 3 trees planted.
It was a job but i had to do it or face major losses. I was so busy working all summer i had no time until last week to get the rest of my planting done.
I have more to get into my basement as the garage is also full of stuff to get in. That is what I have been doing for the last week.
Potting, planting, bringing in stuff ( mandevillas, coleus, Hibiscus, Geraniums, etc.!)
I am exhausted. Just taking a break.
My coleus cuttings are already growing pretty well. Here is a picture of some of them.
I have a full rack and several more trays on my bench. I potted up about 18 flats.
About 12 have survived.
Did you all bring in your winter stash?
I have so much overwintering that my purchases next spring will be small.
Oh well you can always wish!
Julie
