Fall is for planting!

Do you want to have a beautiful landscape next year? If so, then fall is the time to plant. The cooler air temperatures reduce evaporation so they require less watering. The soil is still warm which will promote root growth. In fact the root growth will continue through the winter as long as the ground temperature remains above freezing. This will give you an established root system which will provide you with better spring blooms and vigorous new growth.

Most people buy their perennials during the spring to plant them but actually the best time to plant is in the fall. In fact we have several perennials that we are going to pot up to a bigger size to sale next year. Now is the time to purchase and plant these so that you will have that bigger perennial in your garden. The same goes for our shrubbery and trees.

Mark your calendars because the first day of fall is September 22nd.
