Archive April June July Sept. Oct. October: Still Time To Plant Spring Flowering Bulbs This Fall There's still time to get those spring-flowering bulbs in the ground yet this fall. Though generally it is recommended to get the bulbs planted by early October to give them enough time to root before winter, it is better to plant now rather than try to store the bulbs over winter. As long as the soil temperatures are above 40° F., the bulbs should continue their root development. Taking Cuttings For the Winter Late summer is the perfect time to take cuttings from annuals and herbs. Impatiens, coleus, geraniums, wax begonias, and such unusual annuals as licorice plant and polka dot plant are easily propagated by cuttings. Plants grown from cuttings of rosemary, thyme, and oregano can provide a midwinter harvest of fresh herbs.
