I didn't get to tear my front bank apart now that I was sick and still have a couple of little plants set down there to be planted yet. Maybe I can get out and do that today. Looks like it might be nice. Here I was so far ahead for this time of year for the first time. So much for that plan. Guess the bank can be done next spring! Or maybe January when we have nice days and I get early spring fever.<br />Thanks for your support on the post I did the other day - I really appreciate it!RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-51850068686302307832010-11-03T10:14:59.614-07:002010-11-03T10:14:59.614-07:00Lovely views - that maple is superb!

Usually forgetting them as you did!! The pansies look cute. Ours have bloomed all year and are still smiling away at us. I just adore that maple. We have a purple one that turns bright red at this time but with the recent wind and rain it has just dropped all its leaves! And I was going to collect them too. Ah well.

I think I might feel a bit "rusty??" I know the plants love it tho and your garden shows that. If you look out my windows right now, you see everything has changed color but we still have lots of leaves ON. :-)<br />That makes me happy since I'd rather see that than bare branches. We've had one hard frost so most of my flowers are gone.<br />btw, Thank you for offering me the pink poppy seeds. You sent me some with the "gardening by letter" project tho. I sprinkled them about this spring and got some nice blooms. I've saved some seed myself now and will re-sprinkle next spring. <br />I also haven't forgotten that I offered you more Campanula "cherry bells" but (lazy slug I've become) I never got around to digging them up so hopefully you won't mind getting some next spring?? (They are pretty much all but gone now.)<br />I will be sure and e-mail you if I make a trip to your area to visit my brother. :-)<br />Hope your girls had a fun Halloween too!Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_kornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-43059104127571309582010-11-01T20:35:04.757-07:002010-11-01T20:35:04.757-07:00Hey Catherine,

I do miss the Portland falls- but not the gray skies. We're still in the process of getting things organized in our new home in Redmond, OR. Still so much to do. DH has been traveling practically since we moved, so not much has been happening. A year break from blogging was a bit long, I think!

Your blog background ...Hi Catherine, I love Fall! Your blog background is perfect. :-)<br /><br />I'm wishing you GOOD fortune with your amaryllis. There are times mine grow and bloom again and there are times that they don't. (This past Spring, I threatened mine with landing in the compost pile, and they finally bloomed!) ha. <br /><br />Your Cactus will be great, too. Let it get very dry between waterings. They also like to be rootbound, so don't worry about repotting for quite awhile. I brought mine in (I had them in the shade for the summer) and immediately they've budded! I'll be posting photos, soon. They usually bloom 2 to 3 times during the winter. Always amazing! :-)<br /><br />It looks great out your window.Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-29673574345357720692010-11-01T17:10:56.510-07:002010-11-01T17:10:56.510-07:00It seems you found the easy way to store Amaryllis...It seems you found the easy way to store Amaryllis bulbs for reblooming.
