Last night
the temperature dropped into the low 29s and it was very cold. We had our
first hard frost of the season and with that, the gardening season had ended.
Today I went out to the
garden and did cut back the remaining foliage to the soil line and then covered
the gardens with mulch. The garden season is over and all that is left is
my grass gardens. They will add interest to my yard
for the next several weeks or until the spring flowers start to bloom.

I will miss my time in the garden as I am one who enjoys my garden very much. The only thing that is left is to plant some daffodils that my husband bought at Lowes today. He was able to get a bag of 40 bulbs for $6.98
Know that as long as the
ground is not completely frozen you can still plant the bulbs. I think I will
cut back the chrysanthemum that is in the large containers and plant some
daffodils. Then come spring these containers will look nice and add curb appeal
to the front of the house.
