@nancy82415 You are not alone in cutting down perennials and Fall clean-up. I too will be bidding the beauty of summer farewell. I only have a small area of approximately 8' x 6'. I can certainly make the area sing with a cacophony of color!!!
I have 2 green thumbs I am very grateful to have!!!

@parus can you loan me a thumb? In all honesty it is time to re-do all the perennial beds. One is along side the length of the house and one that is 1/3 of my backyard. They were created before I bought the place. The previous owner had them done professionally. But they are now ready to be ripped out. I want to get new hardscaping done as well. Something more up to date and more me. Problem is I have no idea what I want. Once I have that decided and done, I would then be able to determine what would be planted in the beds. I am sure my sister-in-law would be able to help me. She has beautiful perennial gardens at her house.
@parus My fall cleanup is tempered by weather and energy levels. We have wild blackberry plants on the north side of our property, that I fear cutting down completely. They may be holding up part of the hillside, but definitely need trimming! I want to cut back the roses growing on the front walk but think that comes later on the calendar. Like you, I want color! But unlike you, I don't have a very green thumb. May I come to live in your garden, where you nurture with love?

Hi,
Loved your expression. “cacophony of color”...made me smile. I can visualize your little garden..must be beautiful to wake up to every day. We haven’t had a freeze here in Florida in years so plants really thrive in the humidity. I guess that’s a form of gratitude even though I don’t thrive in this humidity. 😓
