This blog is about my garden and the outdoors. I am new to photography but I am trying to show some of the pretty things that grow here in Michigan. I love the wild things who visit me and I dont mind if they eat a bit here and there. I like it more if they let me take their picture. As time goes on I think I will try to show you around the beautiful area that I live in as well as my garden. I try to use my own pictures as much as possible but will also use pictures from the web. If I inadvertently use your photo or work without permission please email me and I will remove it or give credit if you prefer. I will give credit when I know who the owner is. I would ask that anyone using my pictures do the same.

Bringing in the plants............

It's that time. Time to get things inside before the first frosts hit us. It has been wet or too hot, or humid. Just not garden weather at least for me. I could imagine my Dad being out in Wellies and rain coat but not me, I am not that dedicated. I live in hope that Winter kills the weeds and I can get out digging early enough to get things done in the Spring. I would like to at least trim back the shrubs though...........but the big job now is getting the Geraniums repotted and brought inside. I wasn't going to but they look too nice to just let them die. True they are then late blooming but ah well.


The Geraniums are so pretty after the rain.





There are several house plants that must come in. The problem is where to put them.



I also want these to come in as they did so well last year inside. Then I need to repot some cuttings from a couple more I have my potting soil now so I can start that project. I like plants that can be reproduced to give more.


Then there's about 4 Spider plants out there that need to be repotted and brought inside. No idea where everything will go at this point. I had a look around the garden to get some ideas for next year. My Pine trees have a lot of dead branches on the lower parts
I liked them when they were bushy because I know the rabbits love it under there. SO I think I will extend that area and remove the Day lilies and replace them with a row of evergreen shrubs. The lilies will do better in the garden anyway. So roll on Spring haha.We need to do something with the grass too its all weeds and moss out front. I better start saving now haha.



It's about all I can do now, is plan for next year and hope that it's better. Pull stuff out and do as much as I can without spending too much in doing it.
