Mary Ann King of Yankton is a Master Gardener in practice as well as name. To be ready next season, King spends some focused time in the fall with her plants now.
As you can see, these poor Blanket Flowers are practically moving themselves from the overcrowded bed on either side.
See Mary Ann King’s suggestions to focus the Fall yard preparation. Then offer your fall plant tips if you wish.

Thanks for visiting Plant Exchange. Lots to see here about plants of the USDA Zone 4-5a region and  the people who grow them.
