Taking a day off

Spending Friday with grandson Gavin on a field trip with his school. Should be a fun day.

Even if your plants didn't totally freeze back yet, it's late enough in the season that you can be cutting them back. Usually we have had a killer frost by now. Even though we just had flood conditions, it is already pretty dry in the field. Remember to continue watering, less of course than during the summer. Water until the ground stays frozen, usually around late November. The roots are still living. Mums are very shallow rooted plants, so be sure to get them on the 'keep 'em watered' list.

A little frosty.

Not too much frost damage at my field. Some of the sissies got froze out, but most still look good.
This week looks like great iris cutting weather. Started today, did 2 + rows, only 30 left. Bring your scissors and come over for a day of fun! For this job you want a crappy pair of scissors, you know, one that won't cut paper. A loose scissors is best as the leaves are thick. Pruner takes to long when you are cutting thousands.....yes, really. Need fall decorations? Stop by for an armload of broomcorn.
