I have a very small backyard and have to grow everything in flower pots. When I discard the plants I put the pots in my garage for the winter. That doesn't sound hard but some of the pots are very large and are so heavy that it takes both my husband and myself to drag them in together. It's a real workout but I like having a fig tree and berry bushes and a lilac bush so I need those large pots! I am really a country girl at heart living in the city..lol!<br /><br />I hope the winter will not be as harsh as everyone fears! It may actually be good for some areas, however, as the nasty beetle that is killing the lodge pole trees will finally be killed by a harsh winter.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-15555035263099497142010-10-21T10:32:07.728-07:002010-10-21T10:32:07.728-07:00Hmm...not sure what the advantage is to pulling ou...Hmm...not sure what the advantage is to pulling out now vs. letting the plants mulch out over the winter then clearing in the spring. I'll have to ask the garden center here to find out. Our snow is late this year, but this weekend the nearby hillsides will get dusted pretty good. Last year there at this time the ski resorts were already open. I've read that we could be in for a very cold winter with little snow.Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-15754059711025966382010-10-21T07:46:42.905-07:002010-10-21T07:46:42.905-07:00It is so hard to pull out blooming flowers but I a...It is so hard to pull out blooming flowers but I agree with you Lovella, better now then later.<br />Birds..the chickadees and nut hatches are around and once in awhile I see the bluejays, esp when I put out peanuts.

I hear them in the cedar hedges, and they flutter around the roses and perenials in the sunshine. I'm only about 45 minutes east of you, maybe they flew this way? DairymaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
