It’s that time of year again. Once we hit the middle of October as the temperatures decided to start dipping into the low 40’s we decided to grab all of our tropical plants and make sure they were inside. I believe the forecast was for 38 degrees when we decided to grab everything. With all the tax deadlines getting extended for those of us up in the northeast tax season hasn’t gone the way it usually has. So instead of being able to concentrate on cleaning up at home I’ve been doing double duty still. At least we had an extra table that we could use. This meant that like Irene all the plants just got piled up so that at least they were inside before the supper cold actually hit.
I’m so glad that I actually did bring them in because the lights frosts started and I’m pretty sure that most of my plants would not have liked that very much; especially seeing as how most of them have already gotten pretty mad at me for leaving them outside in the 50 degree weather. Now comes the fun task of cleaning them all up, trimming them all back and fining a nice home for them for the winter.
Welcome to the start of my jungle.
