Winter is Coming

Tonight may be first frost.  We've dug up and transplanted, brought in, and protected in the plastic greenhouse whatever can't withstand 31°F.  The canas have been moved from the greenhouse into the garage.  Their place has been taken by a couple pots of asters and daisies.  Later (when temps get below 25°) they'll be joined by the Ponderosa pine bonsai.  

The old Ginkgo out in the side yard has turned a glorious lemon yellow.  

Two others, living in the shade of the Chinese pistache, are still green.  


I note with interest that the British tree-of-the-year has been selected.  Looking forward to voting for the European champion, whenever that competition begins.
