Closed for the winter

I guess this blog went a big neglected for the end of the summer. Here's a quick recap along with winterizing plans.

The successes of the summer were cherry tomatoes, peas and geraniums. I will definitely invite those plants into my garden next year. I also have a few perennials that I'm hoping will survive the winter on the windy roof: a hydrangea, lavender, some bulbs that I forgot the name of and mint.

I read online that hydrangeas need to be protected and insulted from the first frost to the last. I don't really have anything to protect my plant, so I'm using the grill cover from our broken grill. I hope that keeps the plant as warm as the recommended oak leaves.

Until the spring!
