The Backyard On Halloween 2025

 Friday, October 31, 2025

This mum I planted a couple years ago is finally showing some flowers. Pretty late in the season but better late than never. Hoping to get the potted mums in the ground soon to try and get another season out of them. 

Glad I worked on uncovering these garden stones this year. They look great. 

Will be cutting the hostas back soon. 

Norway pine. 

Should probably bring the red chairs in soon and then get in the habit of bringing them out only when needed so they don't get left out all winter. 

And, should probably cut this back a bit more so that it's not such an unmanageable job in the spring.

Ornamental Grasses

About a month ago I bought some ornamental/drought resistant grasses from a colleague at work. I got some of them in the ground a few weeks ago but only got the last few in the ground today. Since it has been above freezing so much I hope it won't be a problem. I think they're going to look great in the next year. We're still in a significant dought. I can't believe I'm still planting and watering in December.
