Fall is such an exciting time in the garden, when we can all enjoy the fruits of our labors over the summer and watch as colors begin to change. It's also time to watch out for shifting weather conditions changing the appearance of our backyards and everything growing in them.
From your beautiful trees for fall color to the vegetables you have on your fall gardening checklist to harvest, now is the time to prepare your garden plants for the incoming cooler season. A trusted source of long-range weather predictions in the US and Canada, Farmers' Almanac states in its extended fall forecast for 2024 that America will see temperatures drop quickly as we head into October: 'October is usually the clearest time of the year over the Eastern US, but not so this year. Our forecast is pointing towards twice as many cloudy and showery days as opposed to fair and sunny dry days.'
