It is already time to think about preparing the garden for next year. Rake and compost the fall leaves. Adding more compost and mulch will be easier in the cooler days of fall. Feed your lilies for a gorgeous show of color next year. If you plan to get rid of ivy, it is easier to pull the vines in the winter.
These bulbs do well in the south
