I will soon have to prepare this and a few other things for coming inside for Winter.
I don't like bringing stuff in but can't see them dying, so, has to be done. I am always wary of what may come in with them. I just wash them off and sit them in the sink but don't spray them.
This Geranium will come inside. I didn't plant it I just set it on the top of the planter. I had success with the other two or 3 I brought inside so this year I will bring them all in.
The ones I had inside did better than the new ones. I suppose the fertilizer helped. Although they all got a good dose of dairy doo.
Some of the summer flowers are making a come back and next year I will buy some of these again and put in the garden.
I didn't used to like them but have changed my mind. They are really pretty.
I see that my Mums are popping. I learned to pinch them back in the Spring and again in Summer. That way they stay bushier and don't get stringy or leggy. I am thinking I may try to buy a few more to put in along with some Asters. The Asters I have always get mold and I don't know why.
Asters or Michaelmas Daisies are pretty Autumn flowers but get scraggly. I need to find out how to stop them from molding. The leaves get gray and fall off leaving stringy leggy plants.
Maybe not enough sun. I may get a couple of those to fill in some spots as well. Meanwhile a couple of Roses are making a last effort.
The rain has helped to bring a second wind to the planter on the deck as well
Tomorrow I must go and get bird seeds. The garden is getting very boring. I am ready for birds to come back. We have not had many all summer. I just put away the things I had set out to make a few more wind chimes. I am done for this year I think. It seems like a non summer to be, came and went and is done. Not ready for snow just yet but glad to be done with summer.
