well I am zone 5 (nova scotia) and I just planted 3 highbushblueberry
bushes this weekend and a Hydragea. My bulbs aren't ready yet to go in yet,
and the weather has been hovering around 20 Celius, and sunny. we could use
some rain, the well is getting low.

The leaves are just starting to change color and I have a ton of work to do
to get the garden off to bed ,although some things are still blooming and my
garden needs another 2 weeks to ripen the tomatoes.(as if)
we had a miserable spring but now are making up with a beautiful fall.

A day ago we had indian summer, 85 and humid, now we're getting
torrential rain, and there's a winter storm warning in the northwest
corner of the state. Chill can't be ignored.

I built a very big compost bin, and planted about fifty new bulbs and
I'm ready for winter, but still its kind of melancholly. At least I
have something to look forward too. In about 3 weeks we'll have the
rain storm that will strip all the leaves from the trees.

Gardening makes winter easier, although I wonder what living in zone 5
or 6 would be like. Zone envy bah!
