You know I had neglected to say that though my garage is not heated it IS dry-walled on all 3 sides,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, we4 keep soda out there on the table and its never froze and the fish we put in a 55 gallon trash bin with pond water to the top and it has never froze either.....................And the dumb fish continue to multiply. WithOUT my permission I will add,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have knockout roses still in bloom but when we got frost we got frost. Only about the last 4 or 5 days though, Things are blackening up and dropping now. I will go out this week and get some things cut back and burn in the fire pit. Two of my 4 trees still have all their leaves hanging on yet.

MOst of the shrubs still have their leaves,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but my sun room has plastic along the west side, on the south and half of the east side. We started doing that a couple years ago and it does help. We leave the one slider uncovered so we can go out that way to fill feeders for the birds.
