October 2026

Welcome Root readers! Autumn is here. This issue covers fall/early winter tree planting, mint for the garden, and sowing seeds vs. transplants (with resources – those new seed catalogs will be coming soon!). Our Creature Corner will teach you about the Eastern boxelder bug, and our Help Desk Q&A will help you decide what’s best for those heat-stressed plants. Don’t forget that this coming weekend is our fall event – the Garden and Nature Expo on October 3rd, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Administrative Courthouse in Denton. More information below (and on our Facebook page), but if you love the outdoors, you and your family won’t want to miss this event! We hope to see you there!
