Luckily a week ago Saturday, I gathered plants needing protection near the back door so they could be covered at a moment's notice. I wanted to be ready. No doubt, we will have more bright, warm and sunny days to enjoy these plants and the garden.
Some of these plants are destined to overwinter in a small greenhouse in near a window in our garage. Some will go back to being seasonal house plants. Some will go to the compost pile.
Below is an aster we saw when we stopped to look at an old car on Guy Hill recently. I have cousin to this plant in the yard - it is pink and passed its prime. Got the yard one from the garden club plant sale this past spring, and it settled in nicely.
