Mums have been completely unpredictable this year! Who knows when any of them will bloom?? The consistently high temps above 90 degrees in August & September threw the mums completely off schedule and we still can't figure out when the mid & late season plants will bloom. Just keep on watering them and hope for the best! Looking on the bright side, we may have mums just bursting into bloom at Thanksgiving!

Pansies will live all winter! Plant them now. Enjoy them now and EARLY in spring!!!

Stop pruning your shrubs now- wait until after a killing frost. Pruning promotes growth and new growth will be frost bitten, leaving ugly brown foliage on your plants. After a killing frost, plants go dormant, so they will not grow if they are pruned after a killing frost. We usually have killing frost near the end of October.

Pumpkins make cute holders of flower arrangements. Call me & I'll make you an adorable arrangement in a pumpkin.
