IT’S ALMOST OCTOBER!

Here’s this weeks three tips on what to do in thegarden during the month of October!

  • Keep dead-heading pansies. The more pansies are dead-headed, the more they bloom.
  • Consider planting frost-tolerant ornamental cabbages and kales. Their subtle colors and rose-like forms make a great substitute for summer annuals.
  • Sow seeds of hardy flowers outdoors now on well-prepared ground. They may also be sown in outdoor pots. Some will sprout hardy seedlings that will start growing in Spring. Others will sit underground until Spring before sprouting.
