Welcome friend, thanks for stopping by!
If you’re excited to work in your yard or garden, but not sure what to do in the cooler September weather, then you’ve come to the right place! We’ve put together a list of things to do throughout the month.
You may not need to do everything on this list. For example, if you don’t have roses, then you won’t need to worry about letting the hips form. Just pick what applies to your yard and plan out when you will do it all throughout the month!
