RE: Warm autumn

It has been warm-ish here too.  We have actually had a year with fall color
this year- typically we go from green to brown to nothing.  We have lovely
reds and oranges this year!  I actually still have tomatos ripening still
and a couple crazy plants are still blooming (not that they'll ever make
tomatos).  I do need to get a bunch of plants into the ground from various
perennial plant sales in October.  I've got about 1/3 of a 16 inch retaining
wall around the front yard, and about 1/2 of the soil is in place.  This
weekend I hope to finish the wall and the order more soil delivered.   I
should at least be able to get some plants in place by the end of the
weekend.

I need to move a mature camellia this fall before building a deck where it
is now, and the warm weather is making it bloom its heart out.  If it
doesn't survive the move, at least it will have had a great last season.
Waiting a few more weeks till it's done, or until we have a serious frost
that knocks the blooms off.  We've really only had one killing frost that
knocked the tropicals down but plenty else is still growing.  At least one
more lawn mowing in my yard, too, and normally Halloween is the last.
