 As the Leaves turn to brilliant color -  

 Plant: Spring bulbs including daffodils, narcissus, jonquils, grape hyacinths, tulips and dutch hyacinths should be refrigerated at 45 degrees until mid-December. Continue to plant pansies, snapdragons, pinks, flowering cabbage and flowering kale. Use Cyclamen in the shady areas where pansies and other annuals won’t do well but cover them if temperatures go below 28 degrees.  As soon as you can, divide and plant your spring-flowering perennials. Plant trees now; see the increased stock at your nursery. I particularly like to add Japanese Maples to understory locations this month. They love morning sun and protection from afternoon sun in the shade of a taller tree.
