After the past few nights of dipping into the 20;s... my cottage gardens are pretty much toast.
The milkweeds are all wilted, will pull them today. The salvias are finally crispy... will pull the remaining ones today too. I have one NE Aster that is hanging on, but that is pretty much it, aside from a few rose buds that may actually open -- but they are more protected on the south side of the house.
I even think all my seeds are harvested, except I have 1 Brazilian Bachelor button to grab spent heads from... then i'm done. Oh Ugggg, forgot about the Zinnias.
gonna have a few days of 60's i think ... will get the last of the yard clean up done. then start planning for next year.
