I'm not quite sure where the month has gone. Time gets away from me this time of year as I hustle to prepare gardens for the long winter ahead. We had our first frost this morning in the Portland area, which seems quite late. Inland areas have had a few frosts at this point going back to several weeks ago. I will spend the next couple of weeks continuing to cut perennials back, planting bulbs for next spring, wrapping shrubs, and pulling the last remaining weeds of the season.
