Week 36 gardening & birding

“September, the harvest month…Summer is over and autumn has arrived.”
– Cynthia Wickham

Week 36 marks a transitional period in the garden, as summer fades and autumn begins to make its presence felt. It’s the perfect time to start preparing your garden for the cooler months ahead. Begin by planting fall annuals, like mums and pansies, to keep your garden vibrant. It’s also ideal for planting bulbs that will bloom in spring. Birding becomes especially rewarding as migratory species begin their journey southward, stopping by to refuel in your garden. Keep feeders stocked and consider adding berry-producing plants to provide natural food sources. This week is all about nurturing both plants and wildlife as the seasons change.
