Gardening Tips: Fall

Fall is a great time for growing cool season veggies, such as broccoli, radishes, lettuce and arugula.  Salad greens can be grown in a patio container – you don’t need a big plot, just a sunny spot!

Fall is also the perfect time to plant trees, shrubs and perennials – they will have time to settle in before winter and will not have to struggle in the summer heat.

Add color with pansies, hellebores, or ornamental cabbages, kales and mustards…..

Leave the heads of ornamental grasses, spent hydrangea blooms, and the seeded flower heads of coneflowers and black eyed Susans for winter interest and bird food!
