The lawns are still green here. I have basil trying to grow, but I pulled the tomatoes up several weeks ago because a bunny was living in them.
Mind you, I planted the tomatoes in my specially designed bunny proofed raised bed.
However, we got a near-freeze last night and I keep accidentally disturbing frogs of various sorts trying to hunker down for the winter. One had set up camp beneath a cinder block I'd set down a week ago and was preparing to move into the greenhouse. So I ended up having to bury the poor frog in mulch
and artfully arranging broken bricks around and above him so he/she can get their winter snooze --- or whatever they're doing. Never knew frogs actually *hibernate*.
More important, however, is the issue of the plant room.
The plant room is my former bedroom which I decided to turn into a plant room because it was so full of plants I brought in last year, it was almost impossible to even walk through. I was determined to have the plant room done by now --- floors fixed, walls painted, little plant winter homes set up. Needless to say, I am now in a panic trying to set it up so it doesn't look totally insane.
IOW, winter and the first freeze really is almost here.
