oops, lost my post!  Lots of things to learn and try to navigate.  Thanks for the comments.  I am trying to articulate my first question for the forum.  I'm not unhappy with my garden or gardening.  I think this gardener needs some work though!  LOL 

Fall has turned out to be kinda soggy.  The leaves are pretty much history.  Most of us our waiting for that special time in fall when the breezes are gentle, the air slightly smokey, the geese noisy, the weather warm and the colours mellow.  We have a saying up here that if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute/day and it'll change!  Good thing variety is the spice of life.  Things indeed get spicey.

But fall shows me the colour gaps, bald spots and where the big guys are leaning on the small fry.  So I do lots of moving around in fall.  Now I had been told not to prune trees in fall as they need all their branches to get thru the winter but I just read an article in the local garden mag that fruit trees in our climate should be done in Oct.   It really would be nice not to have conflicting info. 

Ah well, life is a journey and who knows where the next bump is or what's around the next bend.  Good thing the scenery is interesting!  8)
