Though generally considered to be the last “summer” weekend, don’t let this Labor Day holiday end your gardening season. There are fall vegetables to start, plants to divide, fall flowers to plant, and roses left to bloom. Our Pacific Northwest climate means we can have good-looking landscapes year-round. Take advantage of our luck.
