I normally wait only a tad longer to vary out our window bins and planters, however a few of them had been wanting terrible, so I made a decision to get began on the autumn variations.
Our window bins by no means took off like ordinary this 12 months. We had a deep freeze one night time late within the spring and even after overlaying them, they had been zapped. The potato vine by no means did nicely and the petunias did not develop a lot in any respect.
