Fall: The Best Time To Do Your Spring Planting!

• Cooler weather, pretty colors, fewer bugs
• Plants do better in Fall! Soil is warmer than in the spring. Less drought stress. You don’t have to water as much. Plants get growing next spring before garden centers even have plants on the shelves.
• Save Spring for enjoyment (and weeding…) plant now, for one less thing to do in spring
