TIDEWATER GARDENING
by K. Marc Teffeau, Ph.D.
A Change of Season The change in the season is now apparent. Fall has now arrived, and a certain “nip” and fragrance are in the air. The days are growing shorter, the afternoon shadows are longer and the deciduous shrubs and trees are coloring up. Most homeowners think of spring as the
best time to plant trees and shrubs in the landscape. One of the reasons for this is the general spring gardening push and the availability of many balled and burlapped and container-grown woody ornamentals at the garden centers and nursery lots.
