I just moved into a house where 7 years ago there was a great perennial garden. The subsequent owners had let it go and it was completly overrun, therefore a complete reconstruction was required. I took the summer and double dug the garden to 18", put in organics (4" layer of peatmoss)and fertilized. It is now the beginning of September. Is it a good time to plant from containers or should I plant bulbs in the late fall and call it a season until next spring? The books are unspecific, the garden center wants to move their plants, what do you think?
