Has Autumn arrived?

Is our summer season over? That was quite a weekend we had...rain, wind and cold. I can live without that for awhile! This morning was a cool 7*C with a heavy dew. Hopefully it warms up now and a frost will be in our distant future. There are still many vegetables and fruits to harvest from the garden and I'd like my flowering annuals to last for awhile longer. My tomatoes are finally ripening and we are ready to dig our potatoes. We are filling our garden centre with mums, ornamental peppers, cabbage and kale, grasses, and various other plants to spruce up your tired looking planters. There are mixed fall planters already planted if you want a quick switch. If you want us to do the planting for you, bring in your container, pick out the plants and we'll do it for you. Our fall bulbs are arriving this week! Tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and a few unusual bulbs for something different. Plant now and you'll have beautiful colour in the early spring. We'll soon have straw bales, pumpkins and gourds for decorating. Now is a good time for planting perennials. The ground is moist and cooler temperatures help promote good root growth. Starting Thursday, September 3, our perennials will be buy one, get one free.(of equal or lesser value) Enjoy your day!
