Frost is likely tonight for most of us. Remember to cover well or bring inside those tender plants you want to keep awhile longer.
We cheat - our's go in the greenhouse. (Dawn none of this applies to your climate)

Always a busy time, plant orders need to be in this week, seed orders very soon after. The next two days we will be attending our usual trade show -- virtual attendance -- to order soils, pots etc.
Lots of planning this past week!!

Geraniums - if they look a little sad, this cool weather is what they will love. Trim them and give them some food, they will respond.

I thought I would pass this along:
All good things are best when used in moderation, as the saying goes. That is certainly true of heat in the summer, as we can all attest. As the temperatures soar plants can take a turn for the worse, a condition generally termed 'heat stress'. Several common crops cultivated over the summer season provide well-known examples of the effects of non-lethal heat stress. Tomato crops set fruit less efficiently, poinsettias and chrysanthemums can develop strappy foliage and experience delayed flowering. These effects occur when the local temperature the plant is experiencing is higher that the inherent stability of the plant's cellular DNA, protein enzymes, and membrane structures.

The process of photosynthesis is the first to be affected as temperatures rise. The enzymes involved in photosynthesis, are heat-sensitive and denature, or unfold, easily. Plants try to protect themselves physically by changing leaf orientation and size, and plant morphology under prolonged stress...
