Fall Is When the Garden Gets Its Second Wind

When I was building gardens for clients in Houston, I'd get calls every September from people who thought the season was over. It wasn't. It was just getting good. The heat breaks, the bugs back off, and some of my favorite beds have gone in during October. That's exactly why we named this one the Fall Planting Sale.

Why the Fall Planting Sale Is the Best Time to Stock Up

A sale in October can feel early or late, depending on how you think about the garden year. I think it's perfectly timed. Here's why:

• Beds set up now are ready by spring. Fill a raised bed this fall and it has all winter to settle, so it's ready the moment planting season starts.
• You skip the spring rush. Spring is when everyone builds at once, and favorites like the Nicole Arch Trellis tend to sell out.
• Holiday gifts are covered early. You get 20% off and plenty of time for everything to arrive.
• Quality pieces make the discount go further. Untreated cedar beds and steel trellises last season after season, so 20% off is a savings you keep enjoying for years.

Cedar Raised Garden Beds: The Best Buy in the Fall Planting Sale

Gardenary Cedar Raised Garden Beds are where I'd spend the biggest share of my sale dollars this fall. Each bed is handmade in the USA from 1-inch-thick, untreated, kiln-dried cedar, and the key/lock system means the bed body goes together without tools.

If you're just getting started, the 4x4 Starter Cedar Raised Bed is a lovely, low-commitment way to try the Gardenary method. Most people I know start with one and add a second within a year. Ask me how I know.

Garden Tools and the Soil Blocker: What Else I'd Add at 20% Off

The Gardenary Copper Garden Tool Set is the kit I grab every time I head out to plant. It includes seven pieces made from carbon steel with copper plating and ash wood handles, including a bypass pruner and a needlenose pruner for cleaning up spent summer plants. It ships in a gift box, too, so if you've got a gardener on your holiday list, 20% off in October is a very nice head start.

The Gardenary Soil Blocker makes four firm 2-inch soil blocks per press, with no plastic cells and no tangled roots at transplant time. I use mine for starting lettuce and other greens indoors in fall, and it's the tool I'd want ready to go before seed-starting season ramps up in late winter.

How to Get the Most Out of the Fall Planting Sale

• Shop early in the weekend. The most popular raised bed sizes tend to go first.
• Set up the whole bed at once. A raised bed, a Nicole Panel Trellis, and tools in one order means 20% off your entire setup, not just one piece.
• Think ahead to spring. Anything you'd be buying in March is 20% off right now.

You've got this. A little setup now means a garden that's ready to take off the minute spring shows up.
