Great photo. What's your weather like now GT?

Thanks. :-) Porch performance this year is like none before. Very pleased here.

We had gotten almost below freeze everyday, as we should be, but are back up to about 12C in the day and nightly frosts. Very strange weather. Just four more days is the standard not above freezing anymore marker, when snow sticks for good, but we haven't even got any of that yet! In fact, it rained a few nights ago! Strangest long fall I've ever seen here.

Your porch flowers have thrived and I expect you're enjoying the milder days....soon enough you'll get your freezing temps. Enjoy :)

Fantastic days of summer this year, and I attribute some garden success to that this year. Thank you. :-) We had already reached those times, alas, this pic was from the start of August. Don't want to be posting snow so early.

~ so have you had to cover/cut back everything already GT?

I have. About three weeks ago we dropped for a while below freeze and I got everything cleaned up. Then back to 10C for the last two weeks. We are barely now cooling down again. Strange weather. It is looking clean and tidy out there, though the old hay I got from a friend to use as mulch was full of cottonwood seed, so I might have a new weed to pull next year......lol. Such a great summer, I wasn't sad to say goodbye really. Everything did so well.

Thank you. I went with a pink and yellow theme and used a lot of colored foliage so there was never just green. It really was great performance.
