This is my very first blog ever! How exciting. Today has been an on/off rain to sun to rain day. The leaves are turning yellow and the temps are cool. Oct is a good time to prepare new perennial beds for next spring’s candidates, and now is the time to mulch any recently transplanted perennials to help avoid heaving when the freeze/thaw cycles occur.
Awesome job! 🙂
