Tony’s Tips:
Fall is the best time to control weeds like Creeping Charlie.
Scrape Creeping Charlie leaves with herbicides like Weed Beater Ultra to more effectively treat weeds.
Fall is a great time to transplant peonies. Carefully cut stems to the ground and plant in the hole with the “eyes” of the plant two inches below the soil.
Protect tulip and crocus bulbs with chicken wire or granular forms of repellents.
Bring in houseplants before the first frost and be sure to inspect them first for pests like mites.
