swontgirl My glads where good this year as well Last year they where bad. I have kept a number of the little corms, of glads that I liked and they are now after two years coming along a decent size I left them in pots , large pots all summer. Next year they will be big enough to plant out. It is space that I need. Yes there is ever so much to do I put my calla lilies into larger pots as well. Did that a couple of weeks ago even though the foliage was good I know they keep well just dug up, dried off and bagged but I have been in the past couple of years or so been keeping more bulbs, tubers, corms etc. in potted dirt For me it works better. I am in Florida from sometime in November until late April or early May Potted the bulbs have not shrunk at all and once I put them outside, almost as soon as I get back home they really get growing. I find when I get back I have so much to do and in a rush. The potted bulbs etc. can stay in pots outside and get the rain and sunshine, until I get around to placing them where ever I want. Even Dahlias I have done same with and Cannas. But they are in larger pots to heavy for me to carry in, have to get my son, grandkids,neigbhours, or whomever I can persuade to carry the pots indoors. Seems it is going to be cold for Thanksgiving

I was pretty sore from all the yard work I did this week, but it was worth it because the yard is now ready for summer again! I got a ton of plants outside now and tomorrow I will be bringing a ton of plants back inside. And then Sunday I will be bringing a ton of plants back outside again. The reason why I do this is because I would rather get them adjusted when temperatures are in the 60s and 70s because when its in the 80s all my indoor plants burn in the sun. Looks like freezes are almost a thing of the past, tomorrow might be the last one of the season (if we even get one tomorrow!) Greg, do you still have protection on your palms? I uncovered mine a while back, but I just put all the lights and garbage bins away today. Still have them closeby just in case! I just put a garbage bin over one of my pindos (with no lights) and so far it still looks alive and healthy which I was really surprised about. My stronger pindo was given full protection though! Looking forward to next week's nice weather. Good luck everyone and remember not to plant too early! -Alex

I love these pictures! Good to know it can be done with relatively little mayhem if the timing and planning are right. Curious drivers: "Why is that guy driving a trailer full of sticks around so carefully?" Or if it were me or Jandey, "OOOHHH, a door-to-door plumeria salesman!!!" You know, like the ice cream man but for plumeria addicts...

Yes, the concern is potential damage to the floor finish or adhesive being left behind. All contractors I've dealt with apply tape only where there's paper-to-paper or cardboard-to-cardboard. There shouldn't be a trip hazard if a pathway is laid and, where possible, extended to the walls. Tape use info. If you're at the condo during move-in and stress your concerns to the movers, there shouldn't be a problem. Pathways are usually enough to prevent damage to the floors and if they have to set furniture down temporarily ask them to place moving pads under the furniture until it's placed in its permanent position.
