Autumn's Joys

[Me harvesting in last year's vegi garden]

This being the 1st day of Autumn I thought to pay ode to one of my favorite seasons - next to Spring that is. I would guess that for most gardeners it is common for these seasons to be a favorite. Fall is such a rewarding time of year in the garden. It is a time for harvest, for preservation, for change, and a time for planning. That's right, planning - fall is the time to plan and prepare for your spring garden!

Did you missed that short window to get a vegetable garden up and running this past spring? Well fall is now the time to build those beds, plan the garden and even plant some cool season crops like, cabbage, lettuce, and peas. Need some help planning? Give me a call!

Things looking over grown? Does your yard seem to have been planted without much fore thought? Well, fall is a great time to transplant, plant bulbs, and map out plans for spring perennial planting. You can even plant perennials to surprise you when the snow melts as late as mid October (depending on when Jack Frost decides to take up residence in these parts again).

Need help with this planning? Well - GIVE ME A CALL! I will come to your home! We can do as little as a consultation to suggest where things should be transplanted and even show you how. We can build on that and start planning with you now and over the winter so that while the snow is falling you can be reminded of warmer, more colorful days and a beautiful garden to be created once the ground has thawed.

See - aside from the beautiful scenery fall provides it is a valuable time in the garden. If you have more questions about what you can do about your garden now that the temperatures have dropped feel free to leave a comment here or email me; jbhadfield@hotmail.com
