Starting the Clean Up

Well, I'm starting the fall clean up. I deadheaded the hydrangea and removed a few branches that had overgrown the area again. I also yanked out the Virgina Creeper. I didn't mind it there, but in order to keep it small and managable, I figured I'd better pull it up now. Besides, it was too full of insect holes to be pretty in its fall colors. I also removed a couple other weedy wildflowers before they could go to seed.

It seems that I won't have to worry about the mushrooms in my front yard, some critter/kid already turned them to mush. The shame is that it was before I got a picture.

Six more weeks to Halloween. I'd better start thinking about what I'm going to do as a display.
