At Payne’s, we’re celebrating the arrival of fall with 30% OFF 15 gallon trees, a variety of shrubs, vines, and perennials!

Fall is the perfect time to get your landscape planted and give your new plants a head start before spring.

Cooler temperatures and warm soil create great conditions for root establishment, while adding quality soil and compost can help provide the foundation your plants need to thrive. Top it off with a layer of mulch to help retain moisture, protect the root zone, and keep your landscape looking beautiful throughout the season.

Now is the time to plant, save, and grow! Stop by Payne’s North and take advantage of our Fall Is for Planting Sale—30% OFF trees, shrubs, vines, and perennials. Whether you’re adding one new tree or refreshing your entire landscape, we have plenty of ways to make your yard ready for the seasons ahead!

Plant this fall. Enjoy it for years to come!

And that means it’s officially prime planting season!

Fall is one of the best times of year to plant trees, shrubs, and ornamental grasses. Cooler air, warm soil, and more consistent moisture create ideal conditions for roots to settle in and establish before winter.

Why plant in fall?

• Cooler temperatures put less stress on newly planted plants.

• Warm soil encourages continued root growth.

• Reduced heat means less moisture loss.

• Fall moisture helps plants get established.

• Plants have time to develop strong roots before spring growth begins.

While the landscape above ground is slowing down for winter, roots are still busy growing below the surface! That makes fall a wonderful time to give your landscape a head start for next spring.

Stop by Payne’s North and discover a great selection of trees, shrubs, and ornamental grasses for your fall planting projects!

THE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX IS ON TUESDAY. WHAT SHOULD WE BE DOING NOW?

Another GREAT Question!

In this week’s archived show from previous years, the Garden Guru says it’s time to get back in the Garden and plant vegetables!! 

There are several vegetable varieties that can be planted now! Such as lettuce and spinach, and especially root crops such as beets, carrots and radishes. These root veggies really enjoy this Fall weather. What happens is that the soil heats up during the day and then when the sun goes down, the soil is still warm so the roots can really get established.

Listen to Lynn’s show and find out why Fall crops are more intense?

Plant Fall Vegetables: September is an excellent time to sow or transplant fall vegetables like kale, lettuce, and spinach. These cool-season crops thrive in the milder temperatures of autumn.

Harvest: Continue to harvest ripe fruits and vegetables regularly. Be sure to pick any remaining summer crops like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Harvesting encourages more production and prevents overripening or spoilage.

Gardening in September can be a productive and rewarding endeavor, as it marks the transition from summer to fall. Here are some tasks and activities you can consider for your garden in September:

Prepare for Frost: Depending on your region, frost may become a concern in September. Keep an eye on weather forecasts and be ready to cover tender plants with frost cloth or bring them indoors if needed.

Divide and Transplant: Fall is an ideal time to divide and transplant perennials like irises, hostas, and daylilies. It’s also a good time to move or reposition plants that aren’t thriving in their current location.

Gardening in September can be a great way to extend your growing season and prepare your garden for the challenges of the coming winter.

Check back next week for Part 2!

Fall isn’t just a beautiful season—it’s a great time to give your trees and shrubs a head start.

When you plant in the fall, the top of the plant may be slowing down, but the roots are still working beneath the soil. That makes it an ideal time to focus on what’s happening underground.

Start with good soil. Healthy, well-prepared soil gives roots room to grow and provides the drainage and nutrients plants need to get established.

Add compost. Mixing in quality compost can add organic matter and help improve soil structure, creating a healthier environment for developing roots.

Finish with mulch. A layer of mulch helps insulate the soil, conserve moisture, and protect the root zone as temperatures change. Just remember to keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk or stems.

By spring, your fall-planted trees and shrubs can already have an established root system—giving them a strong foundation for the growing season ahead.

Give your landscape a head start this fall!
