Fall can be a great time for planting things like shrubs and trees, too. When planting a whole garden for my daughter in Salt Lake City, we waited until the local nurseries were shutting down for the season around the end of October, and got up to 40% off some really nice trees and shrubs. The best deal, though, was on some wonderful apple trees that we found at Home Depot, again in late October. They had originally been $70 and were marked down to $13.99! My son bought three of them, and they all grew and prospered.
