hi guys, just discovering this thread. We've been busy trying to keep up with picking and canning peppers and tomatoes. Our house is packed now with plants from outside that we took in too. It's always a pain with our cats; they love the new found dirt. I have to cover the pots with foil, which seems to work.

G. your non-stop begonia is so nice. I love begonias. I brought one of ours inside to see if it will overwinter.

Holly, can't believe you dug up your cannas already; we still have our work cut out for us. I usually wait until they die down. Last nights light frost didn't seem to bother them any. We still have lots of blooms including: salvias, chia, nicotiana and coleus. Our dahlias are super late this year; they just started in October along with pineapple sage.

I started a flat of coleus cuttings under grow lights for next year with my favorite, inky fingers It's been a great season. Not ready for it to end. The tomatoes have so many blooms yet too. They could keep right on going if the weather held out
