Just some more autumn clean-up this weekend.  I cut the peonies down along with liatris and pulled the few stray weeds.  I emptied and stored the copper hanging pots with the spent annuals going in the compost and the potting soil into my soil recycle pile.  I pretty much use the recycled soil when dividing and moving perennials in the garden.  (I feel like I must sound a bit Martha Stewart).  Then I winterized and covered up the fountain with a tarp and collected all the garden ornaments and stored those as well.  Finally, I took cuttings of all my scented geraniums togrow over the winter in the house for planting out again next year.  The herbs will be fine, but the geraniums will not and I’d hate to loose them as they aren’talways easily found.

Finally, I planted:

  • Fritillaria Imperialis bulb (a gift from myparents from Amsterdam)
  • California Poppies relocated from elsewhere in the garden
  • Liatris relocated from elsewhere in the garden
  • Ornamental Grass
