Fall Color from Atlanta

New posts
It is 44 and chilly here now- certainly feels like fall! Even though there is no color change, the light is different- we have fall light- which I I love almost more than the leaves.

I hope so, or I am gonna have to find my box with the mittens and hats.:( I know that trick or treat is supposed to be warm. Which reminds me of a thread I need to start- need to get coffee first.

Yes, dahlias and gladiolas are annuals, and need to be taken up and replanted in Spring for summer bloom in NY. I don't take up the glads, just replant, but my dahlias I usally do, but this year didn't get to them in time. :( I do get a lot of glads back in a rock garden I have because I leave the leaves in it for cover, and so between the rocks and leaves, quite a few come back the following year, but that's the only reason why.
They is a breed of glads (short ones) that the Dutch bulb companies say can be perennial, but I got them for a couple of years here only.

We got a lot wnd this weekend, and had a lot of power outtages locally.
I fortunately did not lose power though, but the yard is a mess from broken branches. Looks like I have to play pick up sticks tomorrow. :lol:

Don't give up hope on the dahlias. Although they are supposed to be dug up in the fall, every now and then one of them proves to be a tough customer and refuses to die during the winter. I've had them sporadically return, just like rosemary, another one that's supposed to whither in the winter. :razz:

It's always funn to see what kind of surprise garden pops up the next year. It helps when you have a garden seance in the Spring. :lol:
