Why?
Fall is an ideal time for planting for the following reasons:
In cooler temperatures, plants don’t need as much water and have less stress from transplanting. (Cooler temps are also easier on the gardener!)
In the fall, soils tend to be just the right temperature which makes the roots more comfortable.
In the fall, plants begin to go dormant. It’s during the fall that roots get a chance to absorb all of the nutrients without needing to distribute them to the leaves and blooms.
You can plant most plants through mid-October. This will allow roots another two months to get established before winter. Established plants also have a better chance of making it through the heat of the next summer.
