Time to spring into fall... fall planting that is!

Well it's fall and so you say to yourself, "Self, you really missed the boat on  gardening this year! There were a lot of distractions: bad weather early on, gorgeous weather later on, the beach, the seawall, that camping trip. Oh  that camping trip!" All solid reasons not to spend time in the garden.

But wait! It's not too late! The second planting season is upon us. Most  perennials, as well as trees and shrubs, do better in the long run when  planted in the fall. In fall, you plants will go into warm soil and benefit  from high moisture levels which is ideal for root development. What's more, their roots will continue to develop for the most of the winter season down here on the south coast, and will be thoroughly established by the  following summer.

So you see, fall is by far the best time to plant trees, shrubs and perennials so spring into your fall planting today! Or even tomorrow.
