Cutting Back in Northern California

Richmond, CA

Help!! I'm a transplanted (no pun intended) Midwest gardener. In the Midwest fall is the time to cut just about all herbaceous perennials. This is my first year gardening in the SF Bay Area. I keep doing things and then worrying. So, I cut two huge common yarrow plants all the way back--mistake? My thyme ground cover had lots of browned out areas--I cut it completely back--green and brown areas. I assume they'll survive, but what are the recommendations for herbaceious perennials in my area?

just a suggestion but maybe you could post your question in the california gardening section? there are quite a few members that live up your way and could help you.

Long Beach, CA(Zone 10a)

OR, since you're in Richmond, you should go ck. out Annies Annuals and Perennials. 740 Market Ave Richmond, Ca.
www.anniesannuals.com

I think they have classes and demonstrations there where you could get your questions answered. It's a great nursery.
