FALL FOLLIES

 The mini greenhouse is rapidly filling up with tender succulents and geraniums. Sonia the garden angel watches over them all with her sidekick bunny. Seems like I keep finding more and more pots to consolidate or dump out. I'm afraid to count how many pots I have.  
 But the race is on to get them all organized before Oct 15...the date when the storm door usually opens and we get cooler and perhaps wetter weather. Meanwhile the temp in the greenhouse can get to 100 degrees on a balmy fall day of 75 degrees, so I have to remember to open it up each morning. 
 I'm trying to fit most of the pots into the coldframe next to the greenhouse. Heavy big ones on the bottom...it usually takes a couple of times to get them all stacked right. Oops, there's another one I forgot about! The definition of insanity comes to mind... 
And just when you're thinking about winter, a clematis goes and blooms its head off in October! Who knew?
