Tonight I put the garden mums to bed for the night. Did you know that Chrysanthemums respond to day length for their blooming time? That's why they don't flower in your garden until autumn when the days are shorter. To have garden mums in bloom for sale this time of the year, we started about 6 weeks ago, pulling a thick black blanket over the 6" pots of mums at 8 p.m. & uncover them at 9 a.m., Mon - Sat.
