Frost is predicted for this week, so today I cut the last of the roses and dahlias. There were no yellow roses left, but I got the reds and the pale pinks and the remaining brown-eyed Susans and Gerber daisies. I dead-headed the cosmos, which made me think of Judgement Day. I confess I did slaughter the earwigs sheltering in the dahlias' thick petals. Sorry, no refuge for bugs in my kitchen!
