Time to put away your pruners! Pruning encourages new growth and that is not what you want to do at this time of year. So clean and put your pruners away until spring. Let nature do her thing - if plants still have leaves on them, they are still feeding the roots to make that plant stronger for the next year. Don't prune till Spring.
Time to dig up summer bulbs and store for winter. Plant Fall bulbs like tulips, allium, daffodils, hyacinths snowdrops - in their place and enjoy a Spring filled with flowers!
Remember to water your mums daily especially on hot or windy days!
