Oh boy! free mulch and fertilizer! My Chiquapin oak still hasn't dropped all her leaves, but they are coming down fast and furious now, so I need to rake and pile this weekend.

I was thinking about calling it spring and going ahead and fertilizing everything

It feels like spring, but looks like fall.... Wonder if that is anything like a "L.A. face with an Oakland bootay"

It feels like spring here in Silver Springs Z9a. A few of the old azaleas on the property are blooming. Some other flowers by the well-house are also booming. Some tall spindly things in blue and white and yellow are still blooming.

Azaleas are blooming here as well, but we're in for a cold snap with nighttime temps in the 30s in the next couple of weeks, so don't get too used to it.

Yeah I think we skipped fall and winter. Or are maybe alternating fall and summer months? A lot of my winter dormant plants are waking up... just in time for last weeks cold spell.
