Hi Deb,
I was at our little plant swap earlier this year. The plants you shared are doing great!! Thank you so much. I need to take some pictures.
Anyway, here is my fall cleanup plan:
1. Look out window or walk in yard in late September.
2. It looks pretty darned bad.
3. Decide it needs cleaning up in a couple of weeks.
4. ...the rains start...
5. Now it is April and I have to go out to cut the old stuff back so I can see the new stuff coming in.
I wish I were as disciplined as you. Your gardens are AWESOME!!!
