Even though Fall is here but there are still things we can plant before the winter comes and freezes the ground. It is a good time to plant spring bulbs an some early spring plants can go in now before the ground gets hard. According to the HGTV website the cold weather will encourage root growth. After I rad that on their site and thought about it that statement made lots of sense give that when the top of the plant feels the cold it will want to get to the warmer soil below to survive. So, clean up the leaves and other debris and plant those bulbs, mint plants, rhodies, and other spring bloomers.
Now is also the time of year that if you have any perennial baskets to get them winterized. You need to cut everything back to about one inch and then store them in your garage, under the house, at your neighborhood greenhouse, or anywhere dry and out of the frost. If you want to winter them but don't want to go though any of the hassle most nurseries will winter them for you. They will charge a small fee usually but probably less than it would be to replace your plant.
