Fall is the perfect time to cut back, transplant, and water our Sedum plants. This ensures they are strong and hydrated before winter sets in, promoting healthier growth come spring.

Maintaining our Juniper trees is essential to keep them healthy and beautiful all year long. These trees have a unique form and in order to allow them to continue growing where they are we need to lighten their outward growth to prevent snow and ice from taking them down in the winter.
Regular trimming encourages new growth and helps prevent disease, ensuring these evergreens continue to provide a lush backdrop to the landscape. 🍃

As we transition into fall, it’s the perfect opportunity to give our trees a little TLC! Trimming trees not only enhances their appearance but also promotes healthy growth and helps prevent potential hazards. Regular pruning removes dead or damaged branches, allowing more sunlight to reach the interior and improving air circulation.
When trimming, it’s important to focus on shaping the tree while maintaining its natural form. This encourages strong structural growth and reduces the risk of breakage during winter storms. If you’re unsure about how to trim your trees or need assistance, Solid Roots Farm is here to help!

As the colder months approach, it’s time to give your perennials some TLC to help them thrive next spring! Here are some simple steps to prep your plants for winter:
-Cut Back Foliage: Trim dead or yellowing leaves to prevent disease and promote new growth in the spring.
-Mulch: Add a layer of mulch around the base of your plants to insulate their roots and retain moisture.
-Water Well: Give your perennials a good watering before the ground freezes to ensure they’re hydrated throughout winter.
-Protect with Cloches or Row Covers: If you have tender varieties, consider using cloches or row covers to shield them from harsh elements.
-Plan for Division: If any of your perennials have outgrown their space, now’s a great time to plan for division in the spring!
Taking these steps will help your perennials stay healthy and ready to burst back to life when warmer weather returns. Happy gardening! 🌼❄️

Plant Health Tip: How to Deadhead Your Plants 🌸
Deadheading is a simple yet powerful technique to keep your plants thriving! By removing spent flowers, you allow the plant to focus its energy on producing new blooms instead of setting seeds. This not only encourages more flowers but keeps the plant looking fresh all season long.
Here’s how to do it:
Snip or pinch the flower just below the bloom, above the first set of healthy leaves.
2. Regularly check for wilting flowers to keep your plant looking fresh.
3. Enjoy more blooms as your plant channels energy into growing new flowers!
Your plants will thank you! 🪴✨
