Ardesia, I had the same problem with pine needles in the past. Got our two huge pines removed earlier this summer so that problem went away. I was fortunate that when the pinecones fell or even worse - big limbs broke off and fell 60 feet that not one hit any of my pots. My neighbor's hickory tree was loaded this year and when you hear them fall, it makes you glad you didn't get hit on the head by one of those hefty nuts.

Deepwater, lovely pictures of the tuberous begonias and calla lilies. In your zone, it is nice that you don't have to worry about moving plants inside for winter. Callas can be wintered here in the ground where they become kind of weedy from seed. I don't know about dormancy periods for tuberous begonias and calla lilies being in sync with each other. Only one way to find out - experiment!
