Heavy rain east of I-95 and just light stuff up here.  Shocking!

My mother and niece just voted in person down in Calvert which took an hour and 45 minutes.  They said the heavy rain started just as they finished and they feel bad for all those people in line.

I somehow escaped the growing season ending for NW Montgomery and my tropical milkweeds and lantana are fine.  I should be able to keep them for a while longer now.  Gaithersburg airport reached 30 and that would have killed them instantly.  This is one of the lantanas taken yesterday.

Mine are doing really well too.  THis is the first year I planted them and was extremenly happy with hoe they took.  Are they perennial, or will they be gone once they die? 

I've lucked out with a few Gerber Daisies which have been reappearing for the past 3 years. ;-)

Lantanas are annuals here and have to be replanted each year.  As soon as we have the first freeze, they are gone.

Looking downright wintry feeling tomorrow with strong winds and low 40s, but that is a big ridge for later into the week and next weekend.  Get those grills ready!

This is our 2nd season planting those on our back patio at home.  We’re so happy with how well they do, especially with areas that get full sun in the afternoon.  They’re still going strong.
