The first hard frost has taken place covering plants with an icy chill that brings them to their next life cycle.
Specific plants like geraniums or impatiens can be brought inside and continue blooming, the remaining plants can be added to your compost pile helping to create rich soil better known as “black gold” for next year. Forcing bulbs during the fall is a somewhat arduous task but if you decide to do it you will enjoy blooms during mid winter to early spring. Cheers
