Things to Do:

It's time to plant pansies for winter color and a beautiful spring display.

Plant spring blooming bulbs like daffodils, tulips, crocus, and grape hyacinth. It's a great time to plant trees and get started on the summer shade that you've been needing.

You can plant perennials that are hardy in your zone.  Avoid putting out tender perennials this time of year.

Make sure you have checked all of your trees that are staked and replaced any ties that are tight.  Rapid trunk growth takes place in the fall and tight ties will strangle your tree.

If it hasn't rained recently in your area, be sure to give everything a good drink.

This is the time of year when God mulches everything with dry leaves.  Feel free to mulch your beds with the mulch of your choice.
