Re: Re: RE: bringing the yard inside/ oil & gas

I start receiving in April.  I plant in May because I'm too darned busy to
get around to it until then.  Some annuals croak in October, but perennials
and woodies are just tstarting a transformation then.  I love the colors on
some of my geraniums come Oct and Nov.  It's not time to quit outside until
December.  Then the work continues inside.
