Fall is by far my favorite time of year in the garden. The roses are in bloom, many of the pesky insects are gone, and the air is cooler. October also ushers in prime planting time for roses and so many other plants. Why October?? Having mild Winters, planting this time of year allows plants to become better rooted prior to the Hades that Summer will bring.
