GARDEN AND PLANT ADVICE

Autumn gardeners embrace the promise of things to come. Although the temperatures are starting to drop, the soil’s still warm, which makes it perfect for planting anything hardy - including annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs. Get them in the ground now and they’ll have plenty of time to settle in before winter - and that will result in earlier, more vigorous growth next spring.
