Although it is necessary to have somewhat drier conditions in late summer and fall to induce maturity in perennial garden plants, most perennials should not go into winter in extremely dry condition. A good watering around freeze-up time, after the plants begin to mature, will put the plants in better shape to survive the winter. Watering should be thorough.
Paper lanterns are wonderful for decorating homes and gardens, as well as for lighting. These lanterns are built from different types of paper, have a variety of colors and can be in conventional or ingenious shapes.
