A Hint of Fall

It may still be hot outside, but there are definitely signs of fall. Something about the quality or smell of the air, the breeze that doesn't feel like a dragon's breath, or maybe it's that the humidity has dropped a bit from 190%!
Fall is my favorite time of year. I'm hoping we have a decent fall season, but the dry weather may cause the leaves to fall more quickly. At any rate, the respite from the heat will be welcome. Plus, fall means vacation and we already have reservations for a few days at Callaway Gardens.
Now that I'm 'greenhousing', fall is the busiest time of year. Within days we will be sowing perennial seeds and sticking cuttings. Mark still has tables to finish and I still have pots and trays to clean. There will have to be a dirt run soon, because all I have left is what is in the potting tub. Each year brings learnings, and I am going to try to do a few things differently this season. Maybe they will improve my productivity. However, I'm thinking the best thing for my productivity would be for my internet service to go on the blink!!!
