If you take advantage of the sales of perennials this time of year, be sure to plant them in your garden before winter!
I have made the mistake in years past of thinking I could let plants I purchased one year sit in their pots over winter while I decided the absolute best spot for them in my yard. And since I've had a handful of plants die over the winter--and my sister admonished me to just put plants in the ground--I have ensured that I make my landscaping decisions much more quickly. Now if I buy a plant, it's in the ground about a week after I buy it!
DIY landscapers in warmer climates have the luxury of taking more time to place their plants, but we Albertans have to act fast...and that's not such a bad thing.
