It is time to bring in any tender houseplants/tropical plants that have been outside for the summer. Yes, we still have some nice days ahead of us but the night temperatures are starting to get too cold for a lot of tender plants. Don't wish you would have and freeze your plants! Check plants for pests while they are still outside it is easier to treat them and you do not risk infesting other plants.

There is something magical about the first flowers of spring, plant bulbs in the fall and sit back and enjoy the flowers of your labor next spring! Here are some pro tips to having the most incredible bulb display next spring:

When to plant bulbs? Plant fall bulbs anytime from Mid-September through late-October. This gives them plenty of time to establish roots before the ground freezes.

How do I plant bulbs? Bulbs like a well draining soil, amend the area you are planting in with well aged manure or compost. Plant bulbs at a depth of three to four times the height of the bulb, example if the bulb is 2" tall it should be planted 6-8" deep. Put down some bulb fertilizer in the bottom of your hole, it needs to be in the root zone to be effective. Groups of bulbs make a larger impact then planting individual bulbs. Plant clusters of bulbs together and get flowers for longer by mixing bloom times and colors.

How do I keep squirrels and rabbits from eating my bulbs? Using a deterrent like Plantskydd when planting will keep those pesky rodents away from your bulbs.
