In the San Francisco Bay Area, I rarely have to worry about a frost, which means that I can leave plants out all year round without incident. I know that's hardly the case with readers living in the Midwest and on the East Coast, though.
Steve, over at Gardening Gone Wild, recently wrote, "I overwinter a host of plants in my cold dark basement.
Before and After: A Brooklyn Backyard Gets Beautified
When homeowners David and Vivian bought their brownstone, the backyard wasn't attractive in the least.

Fab Fall Photos: Twinkle's Finland
Twinkle posted photos on Team of some beautiful fall scenes, and even though they look like they might have been taken in Vermont or Ontario, they are in fact from Finland.
