In the sun my therometer reads in the 60's. If I had covered the raised beds I might have kept them going a few days but no hope for the outdoor beds. That's okay. Gives me an earlier start on the fall cleanup before it is cold in the day also. I need to prepare the garage for the incoming dahlia clumps in two weeks. Also need to bring in some pots with gladiolas and dig the crocosmia. Not sure if I want to bother with the geraniums. May just dump the plants and put annuals in them next year rather than having them in the garage all winter. Same with the iris pots. They always bring in aphids. Might just find a place and plant them in the ground especially now that they have really good roots. They grow nicely but don't bloom. I guess having them in the garage all winter really throws them off.
