Welcome Fall, College Football, and Perfect Planting Weather!

Fall is finally here, and you know what that means—college football season is back! There’s something magical about crisp Saturdays spent cheering on your favorite team, flipping burgers on the grill, and relaxing with family and friends. Here in the South, fall weekends mean gathering outdoors, whether it’s tailgating at the game or enjoying the backyard with loved ones. And while football might steal the show, this season also offers the perfect opportunity to spruce up your landscape and get your garden ready for the coming year.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to plant, fall is your golden season, especially for us lucky ones here in zone 8A. With cooler temperatures, but not too cold, fall offers the ideal window to get new plants in the ground before the first frost hits. It’s also a great time for establishing trees, shrubs, and perennials—allowing them to develop strong root systems without the stress of summer’s heat. 

So, between touchdowns and BBQs, why not spend a little time giving your yard some love? Whether you're adding some new flowering shrubs or giving your lawn that extra care it needs, the fall season lets you enjoy outdoor activities while getting a jump start on next year’s garden. With mild Southern weather, there’s plenty of time to plant and prepare your landscape before winter comes knocking.

And of course, once the yard work is done, there’s nothing better than kicking back and watching the game with a cold drink in hand, admiring all the work you've put into your landscape. Football, friends, family, and fresh new plants—fall really is the best season of the year!

Get outside, enjoy the season, and make the most of this time to update your yard. After all, fall isn’t just for football; it’s for planting too!
