Saturday marks the beginning of autumn, and soon to follow will be the changing of the leaves and a crispness in the morning. Gardening might not be the first thing that comes to mind when we talk about fall, but it’s actually a pretty important season for the longevity of your home garden.
What gardeners do now and into the winter to prepare their soil and seeds could have an important impact on their gardens come spring time. Plus, you can plant and grow certain vegetables and ornamental plants in these colder months.
On the next Charlotte Talks, we discuss how to prepare your garden, bulbs, seeds and more, during the coming season.
