Fall is my favorite time of year! I love the cool weather, planting and preparing the garden for next season, and getting ready to nest for the winter. Here are six gardening tasks I’m tackling in the month of September. Consider adding them to your checklist too.

Refresh Planters for Fall

I’ll admit my planters were a bit neglected at the end of summer. Between travel and hot weather, they didn’t get watered or pruned as much as they should have. This month I’m setting aside an afternoon to refresh them so they’ll look pretty for the next few months. I’ve chosen perennials (creeping Jenny and salvia) that will return next spring, and I’m going with pinks and purples instead of the typical fall oranges and yellows—just a personal preference that makes me happy.
