Got up this AM--and i am freezing....
Hate this kind of early harbinger of colder weather to come!

Yesterday--I applied Systemic granules to every pot I could think of
that will be coming inside. Watered them in well...
Still have to finish re-potting all the rest of my AV's.

I have already cut down all the Peony foliage as it was all covered in Powdery Mildew.
Time for clean-up anyway...
Time to yank out the tired marigolds and cut back some of the newer Salvias,
which are now all done.
Time to rake clean the beds, cut back the foliage on all my Iris, and on my KK Hibiscus
as well--at least about 1/4 of the way down.

I really, really want to dig out my SEM (Stupid Earth Machine) composter.
That is a huge job! It has been 4 years since I did it--can you believe that this thing
in never full?

Sent an e-mail to Scott (at Cylburn) that i am ready for him to come and get the Dr. Seuss.
I will remove one whole stem of it so i can take cuttings...Gotta do that soon.....
Not gonna bother doing cuttings of the other two--(pink NOID and the Maya)
unless someone tells me they really, really want some. The Maya is still small--
not too many cuttings to be had.
Have 4 other people wanting the Dr. Seuss--including some for myself.
I forgot WHO asked me for some???? Let me know, please...

OK! have to work today--1-5. Time to get organized.....G.

My Braz. Plume that I cut back to share, has re-grown fully and has a bloom at the top.
