Fall Cleanup

We started with the dahlias on Halloween, Oct. 31, a warm and sunny day

The first thing we noticed was that the ginko tree on front had lost all its leaves overnight--and they were still green.

Down the street ginko leaves had turned color.

We had brought in our last dahlias the day before.

We can't remember having a better season for them.

The tomato in the trug showed the cold snap.

The back yard

Great light!


The last of the dahlias

Some of these flowers were 7 feet tall and towered in the raised beds.
