As the days get cooler I have to decide what to leave out and what to bring in. The tropical plants of course have to come in but there are a lot of plants that used to be inside plants that I am leaving outside this year.
Among those that will have to brave the elements are a relatively small cactus that wintered in the garage last year, the day lilly that I have put in the ground which is the bloom you see in my icon, the basil I am letting go to seed instead of trying to winter it and the lemongrass which will probably need mulch. We had to replace the lemongrass from last time since it died, not from the cold but from trying to produce starters for others.
The elephant ear plants by the back fence came back from last year so I don't have to worry about them. I also don't have to worry about our strawberry plants since they all died this summer.

I hate to hear that all your strawberry plants died. In case you try again, I thought that I would let you know about the website StrawberryPlants.org. It has tons of information on growing strawberries. The website is here: Strawberry Plants.org. My favorite article there is on an ancient white strawberry that has red seeds: Pineberry Pineberries. Many thanks!
