After a few nights where the temps dipped well below freezing, my annuals looked awful! Sure, I could have covered them with blankets to keep them from an early death. But I’m a busy mom who just can’t keep up with all that!
So, it was time for them to go. After clearing out all the summer annuals, I was left with concrete planters filled with nothing – just leftover potting soil. And I struggled with what to do, because in early November I just wasn’t ready to think about Christmas decor yet. I typically save garland and lights for December.
