Frost on the Pumpkin...


 When the temps get down to 29 degrees F. it is time to move the pumpkin inside. It actually sits on the sun room table and we only heat the area when we are out there, so the night temps can get really cold. It can get so cold that it could effect the flowers.  I brought in the blooming Thanksgiving cactus. 


I also brought in my succulent bowl. They might like it cold once in a while but I can take care of it this way as it isn't heavy. It can sit next to the palm for a while and also the cactus garden. If I can rearrange my plant stand I may just keep it inside. 




I still had things on the deck that I bring in for the winter. I usually find myself wading through snow to bring things in so I am ahead of myself.  

We actually warmed up a little this afternoon but it still is cold out there.  The night temps are going to be winter temps.  I guess my out of door work is done enough.  I could trim back some roses but Iif I don't get to it I can do it in February. My time to do just inside projects begins. Thanks for stopping by today.

Sometime outdoor work has to be enough! Inside projects await!! You have lots of plants inside.

It is the time of the year for indoor projects all around. I know that the cold dreary days are perfect for doing inside stuff.

Yes, it is sure time to bring the plants in. My poor cactus is not doing so well, I still cannot figure out when to water and when to let it dry out. We trimmed our roses last weekend..my husband got a little heavy handed and chopped them WAY back. I hope they come back!
