Yup, all the potted plants bought it last night, so I dumped them into the garden for composting. Tomorrow, 63 degrees is the forecast...whoopee!!!

Back to raking leaves tomorrow,

[healey36]

I'm done with that...anymore that fall off the trees I'm hoping will blow into my neighbor's yard(s).

2020 may have been a rough year (and it ain't over yet), but it sure was prodigious in tree growth and foliage. I'm all for hot and wet, but not when applied to tree growth.

Except that I have the trees and they don't. I just rake them under the trees and forget about them

Was a pretty good year for trees and plants; want some canna bulbs?

[healey36]

You keep trying, I'll give you that, lol. Nope, I'll pass on the canna. While they can be spectacular, the prospect of having to dig them up every year and replant in the spring seems, on the face of it, painful.

We have been told they can stay in the ground here. Same for glads. We have experience with the glads and will know about the canna this year.

I do have one clump of cannas that wintered over last year right next to the garage. But, it seems my better 1/2 has had enough of the cannas although the elephant ears get to stay,

Found a bag of crocus bulbs in the garage which I purchased a month or so ago; what with today's/tomorrow's warm temps, they were starting to sprout. Quickly jammed them in random garden places around the house; it will be entertaining come spring (presuming the squirrels don't find them first).

FIRST ALERT: Nor'easter Batters Boston With Rain, Start of Snowstorm
We’re waiting for the storm to rapidly intensify later this morning and early afternoon, when we'll see the turn from rain to snow
https://www.nbcboston.com/weather/stori ... w/2249231/

Right now, it's raining in Greater Boston, and some areas are seeing snowflakes. By 3 p.m., we should be in the middle of the first big snowstorm of the year.

A nor'easter is arriving in New England, prompting winter storm warnings across much of the region. The First Alert Weather Team has found that the storm has been intensifying, and will continue to do so throughout the day.

It may bring 9 inches of snow or more to the Boston area (estimates have been shifting) and is expected bring over a foot to many parts of New England.

And the sun came out here just a few hours ago....

Sun just started to pop out. I’m 20 mikes north of Philadelphia. Wind is kicking up also. S rain to snow nor’easter stinks. That kind of snow is to heavy.

[rogruth]

2:28 PM, 62 degrees and sunny.
The only problem is I am cold when the temperature is under 70.
