Fall planting — why I'm having you do this now instead of April
Everybody wants to plant in spring, nurseries push it because that's when they sell. But fall planting lets roots settle in over winter so the plant's ready to go by summer instead of struggling through its first hot season. That's why we're doing this session now instead of in April. Trust the timing on this one.
Ha, that makes sense actually.
Honestly this clicked for me too. Pulled the last of my lawn out this week, roots over leaves for once
Jason, that's the whole ballgame right there, roots over leaves! Feels backwards compared to everything the nurseries tell you in April but your plants will thank you in July... That's a satisfying thing to finish on, honestly, right at the end of our six Tuesdays! Already missing this group! Send a photo once things settle in 👍
