Crisp, cool weather, hoodies and sweaters, and the sense of shorter days are what come to mind when we think of fall. Luckily for gardeners and growers, it’s time for one final HooRah in the growing season before we put the beds to rest. There’s a misconception that spring is the only season for planting, but I’m here to tell you that fall is “the” season to start planting!
Simply put: Fall is warm, but not too warm, and cool, but not too cool. This combination of weather provides us the perfect opportunity to get our plants and trees into the ground while the soil temperature is favorable. Take advantage of fall sales and PLANT! When the warm breezes and bird chirps announce the arrival of spring, you’ll have some very happy additions to your landscape.
