Today we pulled out all the flowers from the church garden. Over three yards (compacted) of live plant material were removed for composting. Many flowers were still blooming beautifully, but that is the sad part of fall. The six mandevillas were saved for next year, for over-wintering near a sunny window in a lower level classroom. Harriet and I will take turns watering weekly. I fertilized the pots this year until a few weeks ago, and I have never seen such a large tuber from a sweet potato vine--this one had no room to grow in the pot and was on top of the soil under all the foliage. Some people have eaten them. This one is probably too big and dry and tough. And I am not that hungry.
