      What grand summer like days we had last week.  Now this week more fall like.  Talk of frost this weekend, so time to finish up moving plants inside.  Temperatures are 20 degrees above normal.  Now not to burst your bubble, but for the law of averages sometime this month the temperature will be 20 degrees below normal.  So with that in mind…just enjoy this weather.   I have only been keeping the plants watered as I have had a ton of paper work to do.  That pile is going down so that is good.  This week need to really get the plants inside the greenhouse that I want to save and unplant the rest.  How are you doing with your gardens?  Enjoy this time of year, even though it is the end of gardening what you get done now will make spring work easier.  Farmers are in full harvest so all please stay safe.
Just sending a reminder of the fall planting bulbs we have here at the greenhouse.  There is plenty of time yet to plant these and in fact this is a good time to do it.
