Looks like it’s really cooling down, just in time for Autumn Solstice. And just in time to move that peppermint we’ve been eyeing all summer to its new spot in a raised bed. We started the move last spring, but summer overtook us and we weren’t able to completely get all the plants to their new home. Because summer is not typically a good time to re-position plants, we had peppermint in two spots. Early fall is a good time to move and propagate plants. With cooler temperatures, rain and some sunny days, plants have a good chance to get a good root base started before they need to hibernate for the winter.
