Fall is now upon us. Let's wrap up the garden season with our experts before we have to wrap ourselves in layers of clothing to even image ourselves out of doors.

Porter gives us tips on pruning the phlox and butterfly bushes. He also
informs us that now is the time for dividing the hardy perennials such as
Daylilies and hostas. We are reminded to make our preparations to repel
mice, rabbits, deer and dogs so that we can keep them out of the garden over
winter. Read over his reminders about what herbs and tender plants to
bring in before the first bite of frost and how to prepare your pots and indoor
planters. We learn also the effect of carotenoids and anthocyanins on the
leaves and how they cause the leaves to change colour.
