Description
In this LIVE, we’re talking about what to do in the garden in October so you can stay ahead of the season, keep things productive, and avoid finding out too late that something should’ve been done sooner.
October moves fast in the garden, and waiting even a couple of weeks can mean losing growing time you won’t get back.
Bring your garden questions and come hang out with us LIVE!
