Fall is a busy time for us gardeners as we work hard to get our yards ready for winter and prepared for spring. One of the most vital things to get done in October is planting all your spring bulbs, ahead of the first frost.
Bulb planting earns its place at the top of the fall gardening checklist for a good reason. Getting your bulbs in the ground now gives them a crucial cold period, setting them up for strong root establishment and bright blooms. Careful planning around which bulbs to plant in October will reward you with a spring garden exploding with vibrant color.
