Fall is one of the best times to improve your lawn, trees,
shrubs, and garden. The basic maintenance you do during
this "second spring" after summer will pay off in healthier
growth and fewer problems next spring and summer. And
because soils are still warm despite the falling
temperatures, the weeks ahead are an ideal time to put
many plants into the ground, no matter where you live.
