Peonie bushes, climbing rose bushes, shrubs.....prune now or when? Also, should I plant potted Mums or let them winter-over in their original containers. It's already been fairly cold so far, does that make a difference? When should I cut the gras for the last time before Winter and how short? I have a green thumb but getting plants to grow needs additional help this time of year?
HELP !!

As long as there is any green left, leave them. They are still storing up nutrients. Keep cutting your lawn as long as it is still growing. It should be about done growing now or very soon, as it looks like the temps there are about to tumble. You can set your mower height to 2" for the last cut. If you have alot of thatch, your mower will sink in too much and you may need to cut a little higher. See how it goes through it.
