- Working near the lake today. The Echinacea are still in bloom! November 20!
- Put down some HollyTone plant food for the Rhodies, Mags, Azaleas, Hollies and a few others and then covered them for the winter with shredded leaves. Works wonders every year.
- Red Maples dumped their leaves this week, the latest I've seen for these trees.
- Am doing an experiment with the Peonies this year. Half of them were cut down to 3 inches, the other half left alone. I'll report back next spring.
- Super Wave Petunias were truly super this year.
Be back next week.

- Ornamental peppers forging on, still looking perky; Dusty Miller makes nice companion. (picture above)
- Placed 8" Dianthus under Weeping Pea Shrub. Another nice combo.
- Finally cutting back Echinacea to ground. How sad.
- Moved some Daylilies. Wanted to do it earlier but didn't. Oh well - Daylilies are tough customers, they'll be okay.
- Put down some rubber mulch for client. Not a big fan of it, but neither are the bugs.
- Mulching leaves for future acid-loving plant mulch.
