Fall is the perfect time to plant spring-blooming bulbs in USDA Hardiness Zones 6-7, where winters are cold enough to provide the necessary chilling period for bulbs to thrive.

Frost can damage or kill tender plants, but with a few proactive steps, you can protect your garden, extend your growing season, and ensure your landscape remains healthy through the colder months.

While many associate this season with falling leaves and vibrant foliage, autumn wildflowers play an equally vital role in ecosystems and human appreciation of nature.

As the leaves turn and the air cools this fall, your garden might be winding down, but that's the perfect time to pause and reflect. Reflecting on your summer garden isn't just about reminiscing—it's a practical way to celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and set yourself up for success next year.

Strawberries are hardy perennials, but without protection, they can suffer from crown damage, root exposure due to freeze-thaw cycles, and even total loss in harsh winters. A little preparation now will give you an even better crop next season.

In this post, we'll cover watering strategies, soil care, plant choices, and more to beat the dry times.
