We had a beautiful week of nice, dry weather, making this Labor Day Weekend fantastic to get out and take care of the lawn and garden. This week, Angelo has advice for fall lawn care, including reseeding and winterizing. He also shared tips for managing weeds in the lawn and protecting your trees from deer. September is a fantastic time to plant trees, shrubs, and perennials, so Angelo also shared a list of his favorite plants that support bees.
