The time had come to empty the flower pots and put them away.
The Calluna is the only one that will remain.
The plastic pots are rubbish. The plants along with their roots will be bagged and taken to the waste station. The soil remains here.
The autumn has been very warm. That stem has grown in the last month or so.
The preparations also involved cleaning the garage, which will be fully completed once I have changed the tires on my wife's car. The dried pots will be stored in the garage and in a storage room. When the deck is cleaned I going to have to put the garden hose and the reel away.
