Is everyone as excited about the break in rain as I am?!
The break in rain and the nice temps have everyone venturing back outdoors. It's time to start thinking fall & fall plantings. Yes, you can pretty up your landscape in the fall.
Things to think about....now is the time to do a final weed & feed on your yard or if that is done to put a dusting of pre-emergence on the lawn to get a head start against those weeds before Spring. You can also give your shrubs a good fall trim and they will look great till the spring growing begins!
Beautiful plants that are hardy & tolerate our weather well this time of year are:
Ornamental cabbage
Mums
Violas
Pansies (with a little care they can last until May!)
Snap dragons (will last another few months)
Fall Asters
Salvia
Fall Crocous
There are also several grasses and shrubs you can still incorporate if you want.
Planting bulbs now will give you that first fun peak of color in the Spring....so enjoy your time outdoors!
