AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoFall Planting: Autumn is a good time to plant trees, shrubs, ground covers and perennials while roots can establish before spring. Master Gardener sales are offering native and adapted plants, too. Wildlife-Friendly Gardens: Robins favor mealworms, but experts advise offering only what birds will eat and keeping feeders clean. Gardeners can also leave some fallen leaves and fading stems to shelter insects and support birds. Weather-Ready Yards: Rain gardens can turn storm runoff into attractive planting areas as heavy downpours become more common. With freezes approaching in some regions, bring tender pots indoors or cover sensitive plants. October Growing: Monty Don’s thriving vegetable beds are a reminder that autumn can still bring harvests; seed swaps and seed-saving workshops are helping gardeners plan ahead. Pruning and Planning: Resist the urge to heavily prune trees and shrubs now—waiting until late winter or spring can reduce the risk of tender new growth being damaged by cold.
