Re: bringing the yard inside/ seasons

I'll admit the fall color thing is very nice. Some of my viburnums do
that fall color thing and I love it. Not the same of course, but nice on
a small scale. My first fall in Texas, my folks sent me a big packet of
fall leaves from PA. It was pretty neat. There was a great big sugar
maple leaf that looked like you plucked it right off the Canadian flag.
Gorgeous. I kept it until it finally disintegrated.

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.
