YUP! My "Endless Summer" Hydrangea that was still in bloom a couple of days ago, froze too. Now looks all droopy.
From the beautiful pink blooms--they all turned to "YUK" in a couple of days Hey! It IS time anyway!!!

By now--everything in my Garden, that was left out, has frozen. Of course--being a "seasoned gardener" , I do not leave anything out that should NOT be out at this time of year!

I still have a lot of leaf-raking to do. At least twice! Did it a few days ago, then the winds hit a few days ago and most of the leaves came down--and now my back yard lawn is, once again, covered in golden leaves. AHHH, Fall!!!!

I still have to drop Fall fertilizer on all my perennials and bulbs and shrubs. I tend to forget about this most years, but this is VERY important to do! Have to do it soon!
Everything is cut back---dug up---cleared off-----brought in-----I am "almost" ready to put my Garden to sleep and not worry about it any more.
EXCEPT--------raking the leaves up. I have 2 trees in my back yard, and they drop their leaves about a month apart. AND--mowing the lawn one last time. I am off ALL next week. I am sure I will get to ALL this mno matter what!

How are YOU all doing????????
Are you done with all the Fall chores????
WHAT do you still have to accomplish?
