Which Plants to SaveWe can't wait much longer. We have to decide which summer plants will come indoors for the winter and which we'll give up to the frost. It's your choice, of course, but maybe I can help. Photo: Mandevilla must be protected from freezing weather. |

And, in closingDid you ever go into a really great nursery, and when you reached the back wall of the place you felt disappointed that you'd seen everything? Well, I hope you have that same feeling here now, because youve reached the end. If you like e-gardens, please tell other gardeners about us. I'm going to step away now and head to another project. Maybe we'll meet again there. It could be radio, Facebook, newspapers, podcasts, my book or website. Wherever it is, I'll be looking for you. Happy Gardening! Neil |
