Well there are a gazillion things I need to get done befoire winter....tis the time of year my GPS turns into a storage shed.

1) get the begonia cuttings bumped up to move to the house before frost.. otherwise I will be running them in and out until they root....UGH! Or its compost....

2) bump up the daylily proliferations, these will stay in the GPS all winter....

3) remove the wire door for more room....use it for a table top for stacking

4) as the Petunia baskets die, bring them in for storage they should be able to be watered for next year and the seeds should come!

5) same with the annuals in the window boxes ... I am contemplating putting my window boxes into grain bags so that if any seed fall...I can catch it...those alyssums are loaded with blooms and I would like to put them in baskets next year!

6) same with the annuals in the pots, although I would like to bump those out to nursery cans so I have the nicer fancier pots for next seasons house plants.

7) trim trees and shrubs, take to pile

8) plant trees and shrubs

9) get replacements for bad rose cones, get them handy so when first snow hits....also stuff straw in baggies for winterpacking the heirloom rose

10) pack and label seed, finish any harvesting

11) plant perennials

12) clean and store tools away

13) finish planting the strawberries to the tire

14) straighten and store up the empty nursery cans

and 15) and and....theres more to add here...but I need a break

So hows by you guys, what are you doing in yours?
