Sheryl i say Pfffftttt to your dictome of being finished. Tee Hee thats not the gardeners way.

Never say never.

Lucy, I did see the Channel 5 Boston weather this morning, as I still get daily emails from my home town. This is very early for snow there. Seems like a record of some sort.?
Sheryl, love your planter and Sedum spath is really nice!!

Snow can be early, usually doesn't stick. This Sat coming storm is rough because the leaves are still on the trees, bring down branches.

Oh, I wish that was mine! The pic is from a place called Rushton Hall, in Kettering, England. I'm just hoping that it's hardy here - I think they're slightly warmer there.

It should be hardy. I have some similar Sedum spaths here and they are doing well.

You do? Where did you get 'em? I noticed the other day that you were posting pics of Aeoniums - you must love succulents, too.

Most of my pots are used as holding homes till I figure where in the garden they go.
They are easy access to the hose on the potting shed square.

Does anyone use the water crystals? I use then in my work garden pots , it really cuts down on losses because I can not be there every day to water.

Cinda, How Beautiful!! Love the cat. GREAT photo, indeed!****

Thanks.
Dudley (the cat) is currently on my lap , frost this morning and he likes to warm up his feet on me.

Cute name!
Bet he's happy to be warm on this chilly morning!

Purrfect, lol!

I cut my gardening teeth on tender succulents out West. Lots of things I can't grow here. They are my first ♥. I've gotten them a lot of different places ... Simply Succulents is a fave, other online nurseries, some in trade or swaps. Where do you get yours?

Nice area with the pots, Cinda. I have a black cat, Miss Boo.

Love black kitties. Well, I love almost all kitties, lol.

I had quite a few out in Phoenix but have only gotten a few in co-ops since I moved here 6 years ago.

Had a good hard frost last night ,No Snow Yet.. Ive got to get the rest of my containers,in or dumped,or covered...been soo busy with the new pup and my brother and his wife were here to pick up Zoey their new pup. Yes I had 2 pups for 12 days OM busy... At least they missed the snow Denver got, it was mostly melted by the time they got home late thursday.

I love that sedum,I need more

Cinda nice photo,love your little shelf area and green house.


Things are not looking that good this am... On a good note the last Maple in the yard has finally dropped all of its leaves,but the woods has a few left,nice being able to see the sunrise again.

Very pretty, Tamara! We, too, had a real frost last night. Glad I had picked the tomatoes a few days ago. Wonder what will happen to all the daylilies in bud? Roses still blooming.

The Coleus "melted" in the Frost last night. Here are some remnants.....
the petunias were from seed, can't believe they lasted this long. All my store boughts are long gone.

wonder what this Daylily will do...

My coleus are all mush now too. I decided not to try to carry them through the winter in the garage. My other things still look pretty good.

Mine? Not looking, I refuse to, BUT my hubby says my knock-out roses are still blooming. I won't look, the heartache is too rough

I yanked all of my coleus last weekend. Perennials are cut back. Time for my garden to sleep for the winter. Temp was 29° last night, 28° the night before.
