: Locust with yellowing leaves

If your locust, poplar, willow or aspen trees have leaves that yellow and drop, not to worry. In a more typical year this would happen in midsummer to help the trees reduce moisture loss during hot weather. This year the weather stayed cool much longer than usual and the trees are just now reacting to the summer heat.

Fall Already!

Asters add welcome color in the fall

Summer just flies by, especially when it starts late — as it did this year — but yes, it’s time to start thinking about the fall garden. As the summer annuals and perennials start to fade, brighten up your garden with plants that love the cooler temperatures that are on their way. Asters, mums, ornamental kale and cabbage are all coming into their own now and will add weeks of color to your fall garden.

Don’t forget the fall vegetable garden! More on that next.
